Bronson Statement on Patient Rights and Responsibilities

Bronson respects the rights and human dignity of each patient. We are committed to making your experience at Bronson as positive as possible.

As a Bronson patient, you have the right to:

• information you can understand
• dignified, respectful, personal care
• reasonable response to your requests
• pain relief
• agree to or refuse treatment
• be told the risks of treatment
• be told what will happen if you refuse treatment
• personal privacy and confidentiality of your medical treatment and medical records
• be informed of any research or educational projects affecting your care or treatment

Ask staff for more information on patient rights and responsibilities. The information may also be found in Bronson’s Patient & Family Guide, in framed documents at each entrance, and online.
