Patient's Rights
As a patient in a New York State hospital, you have certain rights and protections guaranteed by state and federal laws. These exist to help ensure the quality and safety of your hospital care.

It will be provided to you upon your admission to the hospital. However, if you would like a copy of this booklet before your admission, please call the Admitting Office at:
