Policy: Non-Discrimination
As a recipient of Federal financial assistance, CHI Franciscan does not exclude, deny benefits to, or otherwise discriminate against any person on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, physical, mental or other disability, citizenship, medical condition, economic status, ability to pay or age in admission to, participation in, or receipt of the services and benefits under any of its programs and activities, whether carried out by CHI Franciscan directly or through a contractor or any other entity with which CHI Franciscan arranges to carry out its programs and activities.
Nondiscrimination Policy
Policy: End of Life
It is the policy of CHI Franciscan that all services rendered in our facilities shall be supportive of life. CHI Franciscan’s goal is to help patients make informed decisions about end of life care without CHI Franciscan actively participating in the provisions associated with the Death with Dignity Act. It is the policy of CHI Franciscan to provide tools and support to a patient and their family that improves their quality of life when facing the problems associated with life threatening illness. At no time may direct actions to terminate life be performed or permitted. Extraordinary means to sustain life need not be utilized when death appears to be imminent and inevitable.
End of Life
Policy: Reproductive Health Care
It is the policy of CHI Franciscan that all services rendered in our facilities shall be supportive of life. At no time may direct actions to terminate life be performed or permitted.
