Notice to Patients and Visitors About Immigration Enforcement

We recognize that there are many questions about the Federal government’s immigration policies. Some patients are concerned about whether they may be placing themselves or their family members at risk by seeking medical care or certain benefits.

We do not want our patients to stay away out of fear. We are here to answer your questions and give you information.

Valley Health System is deeply committed to respecting the privacy of our patients and their families, regardless of immigration status. Law enforcement agencies play an important protection role and deserve our cooperation and respect. At the same time, there are rules in place that control what law enforcement agencies can do without a court order.

Rest assured Valley Health System will not voluntarily release any information about a patient to the law enforcement agencies, including immigration authorities, unless required by law or court order.

We value the trust that you place in us.

If you have any questions, please contact Patient Relations at 201-447-8169.
