Inclusion Policy 🏳️🌈
Queensway Obstetrics and Gynecology and CVOGA provide inclusive working environments for all staff. When you arrive for assessment or your delivery, the doctor on call will be the person assessing and caring for you. This may be a woman, a man or non-binary individual. This may also be someone of the same or different ethnic and cultural background as you. Our obstetrical unit is high acuity and high volume and fulfilling any request for accommodations could compromise the quality of care you receive as well as that provided to others. As such, we cannot accommodate any requests of this nature. No exceptions will be made.
We are also supported by a large team of administrators, nurses, pediatricians, anesthesiologists, and respiratory therapists who may be present at your delivery and will include members of all genders, ethnicities and cultural/religious backgrounds.
Lastly, we are proud to support Trillium Health Partners as a teaching hospital connected to the University of Toronto. Medical students and resident doctors are important members of the team who participate in providing high-quality care to our patients.
| Our Patients Understand | |
|---|---|
|
|
The obstetrical teams at Queensway Obstetrics and Gynecology and CVOGA strive to provide the highest quality care possible to a large population of patients. Maintaining high quality standards in this setting requires careful coordination and team-work amongst multiple care providers.
In alignment with the Ontario Human Rights Code, providers also strive to provide care in culturally sensitive and trauma-informed manner, and work hard to respect patient dignity and beliefs. |
|
|
As meeting requests for care from providers with specific gender, ethnicity, religion, etc. would compromise the quality and access to care for all patients present on the unit, such requests Cannot Be Accommodated. |
|
|
In compliance with CPSO Policy and in order to protect our staff and professional colleagues, if patients, their family members, or other support persons express discriminatory or racist beliefs, this will seriously compromise the patient-physician relationship and these patients will need to seek care elsewhere. |
|
|
Trillium Health Partners is a teaching hospital and medical learners will be involved in all aspects of patient care. |
|
|
This model of care may not be preferable for some patients. In this case, patients are invited to explore alternative options with their primary care providers to establish care in a setting more suitable to their individual needs. |
