Anti-Discrimination Policy
Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters complies with applicable civil rights laws and does not discriminate, exclude or treat people differently because of race, color, national origin, age, disability or sex.
CHKD provides aids and services, such as qualified interpreters and information in alternative formats for written documents, to help people with disabilities and/or limited proficiency in English communicate with us.
These aids are provided free of charge and in a timely manner. If you need these services, please contact cultural/language services at (757) 668-8246.
