Know Your Rights

Know Your Rights

At Equitas Health, we believe that everyone has a right to quality, low-cost, and affirming healthcare. Our dedicated staff works every day to protect this right in a healthcare home where you can feel safe being yourself. Your whole self.

And Your Responsibilities

We also believe that you get the best care possible when you lead the way on your healthcare journey.

We can walk with you. We can’t walk for you.

Let’s take the road to better health together.

Here’s a quick guide to your rights & responsibilities as an Equitas Health patient or client.
