Patient Notice of Non-Discrimination

Valley Health complies with applicable Federal and state civil rights laws and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, or sex. Valley Health does not exclude patients or treat them differently because of race, color, national origin, age, disability, or sex.

Valley Health provides patients, for free and without charge:

• Auxiliary aids and services to people with disabilities to communicate effectively with us, such as:

• Qualified sign language interpreters
• Written information in other formats (large print, audio, accessible electronic formats, other formats)

• Language assistance services to people whose primary language is not English, such as:

• Qualified interpreters
• Information written in other languages

If you need these services, tell your caregiver and they will help arrange for assistance. You may also contact Katy Pitcock, Language Access Coordinator at 540-323-0228.

If you believe that Valley Health has failed to provide these services or discriminated in another way on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, or sex, you can file a grievance through the VHS Patient Grievance Process. You can file a grievance in person or by mail, fax, or email. If you need help filing a grievance, VHS will provide language assistance and auxiliary aides to help you. To file a grievance, inform your caregiver that you want to speak to a member of Risk Management.
