§ 5513 Patient Rights Liaison Program

• •This law helps patients talk to the government about their rights.
• •It connects local helpers (county advocates) with the big state health department.
• •The goal is to make sure patients get the help they need.

If a patient in a hospital feels their rights are ignored, like not getting proper care.

The patients’ rights program helps them talk to the right people in the government to fix the problem.
