Guide Dog/Service Animal Policy
Casa Grande Regional Medical Center ensures that disabled persons using a service animal are generally afforded the same access to the hospital as afforded to the public in general. Service animals are those individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. CGRMC allows people with disabilities to be accompanied by his or her service animal in all areas of the hospital where the public is normally allowed to go. They must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless these devices interfere with the service animal's work or the individual's disability prevents using these devices.
When it is not obvious what service an animal provides, only limited inquiries are allowed. Staff may ask two questions:
1. Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability?
2. What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?
Staff cannot ask about the person's disability, require medical documentation, require a special identification card or training documentation for the dog, or ask that the dog demonstrate its ability to perform the work or task. To access the complete policy, please click here.
Non-Discrimination Policy
Casa Grande Regional Medical Center does not discriminate against any person on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, or physical handicap/disability in admission, treatment, or participation in its programs, services and activities, or in employment.
