Deaf Access Program:
Mount Sinai Hospital and at Schwab Rehabilitation Hospital.
Chicago, Ill.
As many as 50,000 deaf and hard-of-hearing people live in the metropolitan Chicago area. They have the same health concerns as hearing people. But they find it much harder to find health providers with whom they can communicate.
Sinai's Deaf Access Program is one of very few programs nationwide that fully meet the needs of deaf and hard-of-hearing adults and children. Sinai is also one of the first hospitals to have video relay services (VRS) booths. These booths are located in the main lobby of Mount Sinai Hospital and at Schwab Rehabilitation Hospital.
The Deaf Access Program offers a broad range of medical, mental health, and support services to deaf and hard-of-hearing patients at Mount Sinai Hospital. Medical services for the deaf and hard-of-hearing are available at satellite clinics on Chicago's North and South sides. DAP clinicians are proficient in American Sign Language and are thoroughly familiar with deaf culture. The DAP staff also includes certified and licensed ASL interpreters.
Sinai makes every effort to accommodate deaf and hard-of-hearing patients and their families. Public TTYs are located in Mount Sinai's emergency department and lobby. All televisions are equipped with closed captioning. Portable TTYs, telephone amplifiers, and other assistive listening devices are available on request.
Services Offered :
Primary and Specialty Care for Adults
Pediatrics
Interpreting Services
