A Safe Space for ALL: Non-Discrimination Declaration

My clinic will always be a safe space, free of discrimination. All patients can expect the same rigorous and thoughtful care regardless of race, class, gender, sexual orientation, age, ability, religious affiliation, immigration status, body size, or any other (self-)identifying qualities. I stand with you.

Following the 2016 presidential election, I have noticed a theme threading through my intakes. Many of my patients have reported increased feelings of fear, anxiety, and sadness. Health care can put patients in a vulnerable position and I am honored to be trusted with your care, especially during times of unease.

In light of recent events, I am compelled to declare that my clinic will always be a safe space, free of discrimination. I am proud to be a part of our diverse country and will continue to celebrate diversity in an out of my treatment room.

If you experience discrimination in any health care setting, please reach out to me. I write an ongoing Health Advocacy blog series and am happy to provide advice and support to ensure your rights are respected.
