Hospice Care Plus (HCP) provides care and services without discrimination as to race, color, creed, sex, handicap, sexual orientation, veteran status, diagnosis, or national origin.
HCP makes arrangements for care of patients/caregivers with special needs. Special needs are any psychosocial, emotional, spiritual, or cultural needs that require special arrangements. Special needs include but are not limited to physical impairment such as deafness and blindness or cultural diversity needs related to language, religion, and inability to read. Any special needs will be incorporated into the plan of care. A resource list is maintained in the Resources for Disability and Diversity policy for staff reference when a plan of care involves special needs.
Federal and state anti-discrimination and fair employment laws, as well as the federal and Kentucky Civil Rights Acts, prohibit employment practices that discriminate on the basis of age, race, color, sex, national origin, religion, disability, smoking, ethnicity, ethnic origin, veteran status, and sexual orientation. HCP will abide by these rules and regulations with regard to all HCP employees.
Any employee who believes he or she has been unlawfully discriminated against, including sexual harassment, by a coworker, supervisor, manager, physician, or agent of HCP, should report the facts of the incident and the names of the persons involved as soon as possible (preferably within 24 hours) to his/her supervisor or the CEO. Supervisors will promptly report such incidents to the CEO. All claims of unlawful discrimination will be investigated promptly, and appropriate corrective action will be taken. Corrective action may include disciplinary action up to and including discharge.
