The Integrity & Ethics Helpline
We encourage employees, patients and others to speak up if something isn’t right, if they need guidance, or if they want to report a concern about possible inappropriate or illegal behavior. Valley Health maintains an Integrity & Ethics Helpline for reporting concerns like:
- Regulatory violations
- Patient privacy and security
- Billing fraud
- Ethical concerns
The Helpline is available to help 24 hours a day, seven days a week, by calling 844-601-1872. All calls are confidential and the caller may remain anonymous. To report concerns online, click here.
Valley Health policies prohibit any retaliation or retribution against anyone who makes a report in good faith. You have our commitment that your concerns will be heard. The Integrity & Ethics Helpline is NOT a 911 or Emergency Service. Do not use this phone number to report events presenting an immediate threat to life or property. If you require emergency assistance, please contact 911.
