Guide Dogs in Hospitals & Other Health Care Facilities
What are your rights as a guide dog user when visiting
family or friends in the hospital? As a patient, do you have the
right to have your dog in the room with you? Are there places or
conditions in which you can be restricted from being accompanied by
your guide dog? Can your doctor deny you the right to have your guide
dog with you in an examination room? Can an ambulance refuse to
transport your guide dog with you? These questions and many more will
be answered in an upcoming special teleseminar.
The National Association of Guide Dog Users (NAGDU), a
strong and proud division of the National Federation of the Blind,
will host "Guide Dogs in Hospitals & Other Health Care Facilities" on
