Have a good weekend everyone.

Yesterday, the White House issued a Presidential Memorandum that addresses the rights of hospital patients to be receive visitors and  to designate surrogate decision makers in the case of medical emergencies. The Memorandum directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to promulgate regulations that require hospitals that participate in Medicare and Medicaid to respect the patient’s right to designate visitors who shall be permitted access to the patient on the same basis as immediate family members, and to ensure compliance with regulations that require respect for advance directives by the patient or his/her surrogate decision maker.

The Memorandum also provides that participating hospitals may not deny visitation privileges “on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability.” The New York Times reports that the Memorandum will “make it easier for gay men and lesbians to make medical decisions on behalf of their partners” at most hospitals in the United States.

If you’re going to be around over break-intersession and you plan on using the library, please take a look at our hours.  They are somewhat altered from those in place during the semester.

Make sure to check out the extended library hours and restricted access policy for the Fall 2007 exam period.
