PG. 4

Dear friends, In the midst of challenges, the true strength of an organization and its people reveal itself. As of this writing, we are facing an unfortunate disruption of our systems—a storm that threatened to shake our foundation. Yet, in this adversity, I saw creativity, resilience, and unwavering commitment across our team, a testament to the spirit that flows within and between us. As I reflect on this experience, I am reminded of our shared mission, which is our guiding light through this trial: to provide compassionate, state-of-the-art care to those who seek our help. Despite the obstacles we encountered, each of you held steadfast to this mission, ensuring that our patients and their well-being remained the primary focus of our efforts. Let us remember that challenges pass, like the seasons that cycle from winter to spring, and growth follows. Together, we have proven that our strength lies not just in our skills but in our unity and purpose. With deep gratitude, I look forward to the blossoming that awaits as we continue our journey—stronger for having persevered together. Warmly, Sanjiv u i l l RISING THROUGH CHALLENGES: A REFLECTION ON RESILIENCE AND PURPOSE

PATIENT'S BILL OF RIGHTS

INFORMATION FOR PATIENTS You have the right to accurate and easily-understood information about your health plan, health care professionals, and health care facilities. If you speak another language, have a physical or mental disability, or just don't understand something, help should be given so you can make informed health care decisions. CHOICE OF PROVIDERS AND PLANS You have the right to choose health care providers who can give you high-quality health care when you need it. ACCESS TO EMERGENCY SERVICES If you have severe pain, an injury, or sudden illness that makes you believe that your health is in danger, you have the right to be screened and stabilized using emergency services. You should be able to use these services whenever and wherever you need them, without needing to wait for authorization and without any financial penalty. TAKING PART IN TREATMENT DECISIONS You have the right to know your treatment options and take part in decisions about your care. Parents, guardians, family members, or others that you choose can speak for you if you cannot make your own decisions. RESPECT AND NON-DISCRIMINATION You have a right to considerate, respectful care from your doctors, health plan representatives, and other health care providers that does not discriminate against you. CONFIDENTIALITY (PRIVACY) OF HEALTH INFORMATION You have the right to talk privately with health care providers and to have your health care information protected. You also have the right to read and copy your own medical record. You have the right to ask that your doctor change your record if it is not correct, relevant, or complete. COMPLAINTS AND APPEALS You have the right to a fair, fast, and objective review of any complaint you have against your health plan, doctors, hospitals or other health care personnel. This includes complaints about waiting times, operating hours, the actions of health care personnel, and the adequacy of health care facilities. CONSUMER RESPONSIBILITIES In a health care system that protects consumer or patients’ rights, patients should expect to take on some responsibilities to get well and/or stay well (for instance, exercising and not using tobacco). Patients are expected to do things like treat health care workers and other patients with respect, try to pay their medical bills, and follow the rules and benefits of their health plan coverage. Having patients involved in their care increases the chance of the best possible outcomes and helps support a high quality, cost-conscious health care system.
