Our commitment to a safe and dignified birth for you and your child
UCLA Health is committed to eliminating care inequity and supporting your optimal health. We acknowledge that you may have negative health care experiences because of discrimination against aspects of your identity, including your race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability status, nationality, language, or religion.
We want your birth to be a safe and empowering experience.
We will…
- Treat you with dignity and respect at all times. Our promise is to be worthy of your trust.
- Work with you to learn how we can best support you.
- Give you clear explanations and information in your preferred language so you fully understand and can make the decision that is right for you, when you are ready.
- Respect your cultural values and personal boundaries.
- Welcome and actively involve your support persons, such as family, friends, and doula, as part of your team.
