Patient Rights and Responsibilities

Our team members respect the rights, interests, and well-being of our patients. It is our policy that these rights shall be respected, and no patient — whether receiving care at Horn Memorial Hospital or Horn Physicians Clinic — shall be required to waive these rights as a condition of treatment.

As a patient receiving care at a UnityPoint Health hospital or clinic, you have responsibilities to help make your care as effective as possible. For example, we expect you to provide correct and complete information about your health and past medical history, participate in treatment decisions, and communicate openly with our physicians and other health professionals during your planned treatment.

Your rights as a patient—and your responsibilities—are described below. They are also set forth in the following downloadable documents.
