This policy is to clarify expectations for TDC employees assisting patients that have permanent or
temporary mental or physical disabilities.
TDC is comprised of multiple ambulatory clinics that do not have assistive equipment or personnel.
TDC is committed to excellence in patient care and recognizes that when employee’s put themselves at risk
assisting patient with disabilities, they ultimately put the patient at risk.
This policy is intended to avoid injury to both TDC employees and patients that present to TDC for care.
