From Guidance to Action: Understanding the New HHS Protections Against Antisemitic Discrimination in Healthcare

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights (HHS OCR) has issued new guidance clarifying how federal civil rights protections apply to antisemitic discrimination in HHS-funded healthcare settings.

Join AJMA, ADL, the Brandeis Center, Hadassah, and StandWithUs for a practical discussion of what the new guidance means for healthcare professionals, patients, hospitals, health systems, medical schools, and other covered institutions.

We’ll discuss:

• What does the new HHS guidance protect?

• What does it mean for healthcare professionals and patients?

• What does it require of healthcare institutions?

• How does HHS OCR investigate and enforce?

• What is the legal significance—and what happens next?
