Section 5 of the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act (PHRA) requires Pennsylvania employers, businesses, schools, colleges, lenders, and housing providers to post Fair Practice Notices, which do the following: Inform the public of their rights and responsibilities under non-discrimination law.

Discrimination in health care is defined as negative actions or lack of consideration directed towards an individual or group based on preconceived notions about their identity. Individuals do not have to belong to a marginalized group themselves to experience discrimination against that group.
