Below please find important links for your ease of access:

OBH Nondiscrimination Policy: Our policy ensures that patients have the right to treatment without discrimination as to race, age, religion, sex, national origin, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, veteran status, or source of payment.

NYS Patient Bill of Rights: A Patient's Bill of Rights is a document that provides patients with information on how they can reasonably expect to be treated during the course of their hospital stay. These documents are, in almost all cases, not legally-binding. They simply provide goals and expectations for patient treatment.

Speak Up Campaign: The goal of the joint commission Speak Up patient safety program is to help patients and their advocates become active in their care. Speak Up can be shared with all patients regardless of age or reading ability, since the infographics are easy-to-read.

NYC Sexual and Reproductive Health Care Bill of Rights: This Bill of Rights defines health as inclusive of access to sexual health care, birth control, gender-affirming health care, and abortion services, and will help ensure that all patients in New York City are protected from discrimination and harassment related to their sexual and reproductive health care decisions.
