Notice of Nondiscrimination

Discrimination is Against the Law

Southeast Georgia Health System complies with applicable Federal civil rights laws and does not exclude people, treat them differently, or discriminate on the provision of services to an individual based on: the individual’s inability to pay; whether payment for those services would be made under Medicare, Medicaid or CHIP; the individual’s race, color, national origin, age, disability, religion or sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, and gender identity).

Southeast Georgia Health System:

1. Provides free aids and services to people with disabilities to communicate effectively with us, such as:
   • Qualified sign language interpreters
   • Written information in other formats (large print, audio, accessible electronic formats, other formats)
2. Provides free language services to people whose primary language is not English, such as:
   • Qualified interpreters
   • Information written in other languages

If you believe that Southeast Georgia Health System has failed to provide these services or discriminated in another way on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, or sex, you can file a grievance with the Civil Rights Coordinator in person, or by telephone, mail or email. Please mail your grievance to 2415 Parkwood Drive, Brunswick, GA 31520; or call 912-466-3241; or email: civilrightscoordinator@sghs.org.
