We protect patients and respect their rights during research, investigation and clinical trials involving human subjects according to our policy.

Castleview Hospital affirms the right of each patient to make decisions regarding their medical care, so that informed consent may be given prior to any procedure or treatment. The patient's and family's input on ethical issues, including the decision to refuse or discontinue treatment to the extent permitted by the law will be respected. Castleview Hospital has a Medical Ethics Committee available upon request to provide support, education and assistance with problem resolution. We believe the patient has the right to have a resolution to a concern or complaint involving the hospital staff or ancillary personnel.

Patients have a right to request a discharge planning evaluation at any time.
