Patient Privacy - Images and Video
Patient privacy is a priority at St. Joseph’s Health. As a reminder to visitors and patients capturing and sharing any patient’s image, or posting unauthorized images and video to the Internet or social media sites, directly violates St. Joseph’s Health policies and state and federal law. Patients deserve a safe comforting environment for healing. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
POLICY ON TREATMENT OF TRANSGENDER PATIENTS
Transgender patients who are admitted to St. Joseph’s Health hospitals will be allowed to maintain medication(s) they are already taking, as previously prescribed by their non-St. Joseph’s Health healthcare provider, provided the medication is not contraindicated as determined by St. Joseph’s Health medical personnel. This policy pertains solely to the maintenance of an admitted patient’s preexisting course of treatment, as previously determined by their non-St. Joseph’s Health healthcare provider, and does not mean St. Joseph’s Health hospitals have to initiate or recommend any treatment for gender dysphoria, including medications. St. Joseph’s Health will treat transgender patients in accordance with the Catholic faith and the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Services, as amended by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
