Access to services

Oak Orchard Health is here to make sure everyone in our community can access our health care. We offer services that connect people to health care with dignity and respect, regardless of circumstance. That means providing equal access to quality health care regardless of age, sex, color, ethnicity, national origin, or the ability to pay. We receive HHS funding and have Federal Public Health Service (PHS) deemed status with respect to certain health or health-related claims, including medical malpractice claims, for itself and its covered individuals.

Your rights

Empowered patients are ultimately healthier patients, we empower our patients in part by informing them of their rights involving how they access health care. Here’s a look at what we provide.

  • Free aids and services to people with disabilities to communicate effectively with us, such as qualified sign language interpreters
  • Free language services to people whose primary language is not English, such as qualified interpreters and information written in other languages

if you need any of these services, just let us know when your scheduling your appointment.
