Interpreter services are available for patients in many languages. If your English is limited, your nurse can access a medical interpreter for you. If you are speech or hearing impaired, we will provide an interpreter who signs American Sign Language, via an internet web cam or in person. TDD (Telecommunication Device for the Deaf) phones and closed captioning televisions are also available for those with hearing impairments.
URHCS Provides free aids and services to people with disabilities and free language services to people whose primary language is not English, to communicate effectively with us, such as:
○ Qualified sign language interpreters
○ Written information in other formats (large print, audio, accessible electronic formats, other formats)
○ Qualified interpreters
○ Information written in other languages
If you need these services, contact the receptionist, your nurse, or the Director of Patient Experience.
