Patient and Visitor Code of Conduct

We aim to advance the health and well-being of our patients, increase access to care, and build healthy and resilient communities for all. Everyone should expect a safe, caring and inclusive environment in all of our locations.

2. Physical assault
3. Sexual harassment, whether verbal or physical
4. Disrupting another patient's care or experience
5. Offensive comments about others' race, accent, religion, gender, sexual orientation or other personal traits
6. Refusal to see a clinician or other staff member based on these personal traits
7. Possession and/or use of illegal drugs
