Rights and Responsibilties

At Sensenbrenner Hospital, we are committed to providing care in a safe, respectful, and supportive environment. Every patient has the right to be treated with dignity, compassion, and respect by all members of the health care team. Patients are entitled to receive care that honours their values, culture, and personal preferences whenever possible.
​
Patients have the right to receive clear information about their health, treatment options, and care plans so they can make informed decisions about their care. They also have the right to privacy and confidentiality regarding their personal and medical information.
​
Along with these rights, patients share a responsibility to contribute to their own care and to the well-being of others in the hospital. This includes providing accurate information about their health, asking questions when they do not understand something, following recommended treatment plans, and treating staff, volunteers, and other patients with courtesy and respect.
​
By working together with patients and their families, we can help ensure a positive and respectful care experience for everyone.
