Welcome Statement

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center values and welcomes every member of our diverse community. We believe that everyone has the right to receive the medical and behavioral health care they need. We welcome all patients regardless of race, religion, country of origin, immigration status, disability or handicap, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, military services or source of payment.

We respect our patients' privacy. We do not share health information with immigration officials or anyone else unless we are required to do so by law.

We support the respect and dignity of our patients, visitors and staff. We do not tolerate hate speech or acts, or disrespectful behavior. If you feel afraid, threatened or harassed in any way while at BIDMC, or you witness such behavior at BIDMC, please tell a staff member immediately. You may also email Patient Relations or call 617-975-9750. Staff may contact Andrew Zaglin, Human Resources/Employee Relations Director at 617-632-9481 or via email.

Your comfort, health and safety are our top priority.
