LHRC – Local Human Rights Committees
The function of the LHRC ensures due process for the individuals within our service delivery system which helps us to assure rights protection for each individual receiving services. These committees are made up of volunteers across the Commonwealth who serve in their respective regions. Appointed by the SHRC, each committee, which meets at least once per quarter, is comprised of at least five members who review provider requests and conduct fact-finding hearings all in an effort to assure the rights of individuals receiving services
Virginia Code § 37.1-84.3 regulates the appointment of Health Care Providers to the State Human Rights Committee and to Local Human Rights Committees (beginning July 1, 2005). For more information, please see the memorandum here.
