Patient Advocacy
Request Services
We support all deaf patients by offering guidance in navigating the healthcare system, advocating for systematic changes, and providing direct assistance through pioneering ASL-based hotlines – the first of their kind in the field. Our goal is to ensure equitable access to care and empower patients throughout their healthcare journey.
