Speak Up
If you have questions or concerns, you have the right to ask and get a response from your doctor or nurse that makes sense to you. To help, share your answers to these questions with hospital staff.
- What language would you prefer to speak?
- Do you need glasses, hearing aids or other devices to help with talking to hospital staff?
- Do you prefer to hear, see or read health information?
- Do you have any cultural, ethnic or religious-based special needs?
- Who will be your support person who talks with hospital staff about your healthcare wishes?
Share With Us
Ask yourself these questions, and share your responses with us:
- Is there anything in your environment (at home, work and/or the hospital) that may affect your health?
- Have you had bad healthcare experiences in the past? How can we help prevent them from happening again?
- Is there anything else we should be aware of to improve your experience?
