Nondiscrimination and language help
In short
- We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability or sex.
- Free interpreters, translated information and communication aids are available. Just ask when you call.
- If you believe we treated you unfairly, you can complain to us or to the U.S. Office for Civil Rights.
Applies under Section 1557 only if the center receives federal financial assistance. [VERIFY: does the center receive federal financial assistance, such as Medicare?]
Our policy
Nationwide IOP Center [VERIFY: full legal entity name and type, e.g. LLC or Inc.] complies with applicable federal civil rights laws and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin (including limited English proficiency and primary language), age, disability, or sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity and sex characteristics). We do not exclude people or treat them differently because of any of these. California law protects additional characteristics, and we follow it too.
Free help we provide
We provide, free of charge and in a timely manner:
- For people with disabilities: reasonable changes to our policies, and aids to communicate with us, such as qualified sign language interpreters and written information in other formats (large print, accessible electronic formats).
- For people whose first language is not English: qualified interpreters and information translated into other languages.
To ask for any of these, call (747) 599-0059 (TTY: 711).
