When people hear about civil rights, they tend to think that it has someething to do with welfare, food stamps and many other federal accomodations for people with low incomes. It is not like that. I mean all these are part of the civil rights but there is more to it than welfare and food stamps.Civil rights promotes and ensures that people have equal or the same opportunities to participate in healthcare services and human services program without having to face any type of discrimination. The civil rights division ( CRD) carries out the mission or the assignment of enforcing federal laws and it's regulations that forbid discrimination which includes health care providers conscience which deals with the race, color, national origin, age, sex, religion etc. They investigate complaints made by individuals. They also conduct compliance reviews. They also provides technical assistance for the people. It helps them understand how they can comply with the law.Conduct outreach nationwide to help individuals understand their rights and obligations under the laws that OCR enforces.
