Deborah Heart and Lung Center’s Nondiscrimination and Accessibility Notice
New Jersey law prohibits discrimination in places of public accommodation. Deborah Heart and Lung Center’s commitment is to ensure equal access.
Deborah Heart and Lung Center prohibits discrimination on the basis of ancestry, service in the US armed forces, color, creed, disability or handicap, gender identity or expression, marital status, civil union status and domestic partnership status, national origin, nationality, pregnancy or breastfeeding, race, sex, sexual orientation or affectional orientation.
Deborah Heart and Lung Center provides Auxiliary Aids and services at no cost to the patient, family or visitor to promote effective communication, such as:
*Qualified interpreters, including
- Foreign language interpreters
- Sign Language Interpreters through VRI or as ordered by a physician
*Telephone aids, including TTDY telephones and large button telephones
*Written information in other formats (large print, audio, accessible electronic format, etc.) and translated into other languages
The determination of appropriate Auxiliary Aids or services, and the timing, duration, and frequency with which they will be used to provide effective communication will be made by a Physician at Deborah®, in consultation with the Patient and/or family or visitor when practical. The assessment made by Deborah will take into account all relevant facts and circumstances, including, for example, the individual’s communication skills and knowledge, the nature, length, and complexity of the communication involved, the individual’s preference for either a live or video remote interpreter and the reasons why, and the context in which the communication is taking place. The ultimate decision as to what Auxiliary Aids or services are appropriate rests with Deborah®, provided the decision is based on need and abilities of the patient.
If you have questions about the availability of Auxiliary Aids or services for your visit, please contact Case Management 609-893-1200 ext. 5259.
For questions about the hospital’s determination of appropriate Auxiliary Aids or services or concerns about this program, please contact Deborah’s Customer Service/ADA Coordinator during normal business hours at 609-735-2969.
