What Are Chaperones?

Chaperones are staff available to support you during any physical exam, medical visit, or dental visit. They ensure a safe, respectful, and professional environment for patients and providers.

You’re Empowered to Ask

Your safety and comfort come first. If you would like a chaperone at any time, please inform a member of the medical team. Health care staff must offer you a chaperone before performing a sensitive exam.

What Does a Chaperone Provide?

Throughout your visit, chaperones help ensure your:

  • Privacy during exams and procedures
  • Safety by serving as an added layer of support
  • Respect throughout the experience

Their role is to help you feel informed, safe, and supported from start to finish.
