Meriter Health Services, Inc. fully supports the concepts of Equal Service Opportunity and will continue to do so. Meriter is in compliance with the equal opportunity policy and standards of the Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services and all-applicable state and federal statutes and regulations relating to non-discrimination in service delivery.
No otherwise qualified applicant for services or service recipient shall be excluded from participation, be denied benefits, or otherwise be subject to discrimination in any manner on the basis or sex, race, religion, color, creed, national origin or ancestry, age, disability, marital status, source of income, arrest record or conviction record, less than honorable military discharge, veteran status, military participation, physical appearance, sexual orientation, political beliefs, or fact that such person is a student as defined in the City of Madison Equal Opportunities Ordinance. This policy covers eligibility for and access to service delivery and treatment in all of our programs and activities.
To assist Meriter in complying with all applicable equal opportunity regulations, rules and guidelines, I have appointed Shana M. Wuebben, Human Resources Department, as Equal Opportunity Coordinator, (608) 417-6053. You are encouraged to discuss any perceived discrimination problems in services delivery with either Shana Wuebben or Meriter's Patient Representatives (608) 417-6462 or (608) 417-6284 TDD. These individuals may be reached Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Information about our discrimination complaint process is available upon request.
My personal commitment to this policy is complete.
James Woodward
President/CEO
