Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare

For the Deaf and Hard of Hearing

We will make every effort to provide you with a qualified American Sign Language interpreter. If an interpreter is not available, we will provide communication in a way you can understand.

To ensure effective communication with Patients and their Companions who are deaf or hard-of-hearing, we provide appropriate auxiliary aids and services, which may include sign language and oral interpreters, video remote interpreting services, note takers, written materials, telephone handset amplifiers, telephones compatible with hearing aids, televisions with captioning or closed caption decoders, and open and closed captioning of most hospital programs. These will be provided free of charge when appropriate. Please ask your nurse or other hospital personnel for assistance.

Foreign Languages

We provide foreign language interpreting services to share medical information with you and the rest of the healthcare team. Please speak to your nurse if you have any questions or concerns about the use of interpreting services.
