Chaperone Policy
What Are Chaperones?
Chaperones are staff available to support you during any physical exam, medical visit, or dental visit. They ensure a safe, respectful, and professional environment for patients and providers.
You’re Empowered to Ask
Your safety and comfort come first. If you would like a chaperone at any time, please inform a member of our medical team. Health care staff must offer you a chaperone before performing a sensitive exam (exams are considered sensitive when they involve the rectum, genitalia, or female breasts).
What Does a Chaperone Provide?
Throughout your visit, chaperones help ensure your:
- Privacy during exams and procedures
- Safety by serving as an added layer of support
- Respect throughout the experience
Their role is to help you feel informed, safe, and supported from start to finish.
