University Health and Counseling Services: Expectations for Patient and Visitor Behavior
UHCS is committed to providing high-quality medical and mental health care and fostering a healthy, thriving campus community. All individuals have the right to be treated with consideration and respect.
Everyone should expect a safe, caring, and supportive environment in all our spaces.
Our Expectations for Patient and Visitor Behavior help us to meet this goal.
Words or actions that are disrespectful, hostile, intimidating, or harassing to anyone are not welcome.
Examples of these behaviors include, but are not limited to:
- Offensive comments about others' personal traits or characteristics
- Physical or verbal threats and assaults
- Sexual or inappropriate language or actions
- Intimidating behavior or statements
- Disrupting another patient’s care or experience
If we believe you have violated these expectations with unwelcome words or actions, you will be given the opportunity to explain your point of view. We will always carefully consider your response before making any decisions about next steps. Some violations of this Code may lead to ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ prohibiting an individual from seeking non-urgent care at UHCS.
If you witness or are the target of any of these behaviors, please report it to a member of your care team.
