Patient Complaint Resolution Process

The Director of Patient Experience will review your concerns and make every effort to resolve them at that time. If your concern cannot be resolved in a timely manner, it may be considered a grievance. Our goal is to provide a written response to grievances within seven (7) days. Some investigations can take longer, depending on the nature of the grievance. The Director of Patient Experience will facilitate the investigation of the grievance and keep you informed of any delays. If the grievance is not resolved to your satisfaction, you may submit a timely appeal to:

Chief Medical Officer
17 Belmont Avenue

The Chief Medical Officer’s decision will be final and a written notice of the decision will be sent in a timely manner. In addition, you can always contact the following external agencies for assistance:
