From an announcement by MNCDHH
New Video Guide to Health Care Communications Access (Accessible Video Series)
Are you Deaf, DeafBlind, or Hard of Hearing and live in Minnesota? Learn what to do in different health care situations, including medical emergencies, and how to make sure that you get the communications access (interpreters, CART, auxiliary aids) that you need.
Visit our new webpage on Health Care Communications Access for the Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard of Hearing Community in Minnesota.
Watch our Health Care Communications Access video series, which provides a guide to topics such as what your rights are, where you can go for help, what you can do in advance, what you should do in medical emergencies, and what to do if you don’t get the assistance you need.
Introductory Video
This video series is made accessible through American Sign Language (ASL), open captions, voiceovers, and Microsoft Word transcripts of audio content with video descriptions included.
This video series was inspired by the past and current struggles of deaf, deafblind, and hard of hearing medical and health care patients to obtain effective communications access. It is MNCDHH’s hope that this will be a valuable resource for deaf, deafblind, and hard of hearing people in Minnesota, their family, friends, and supporters, and medical and health care providers who serve them.
