Effective Strategies for Communicating with Patients with Hearing Loss

Learn more about patients who are living with hearing loss and strategies to promote effective communication with these individuals. This is an especially important topic in patient care, as this is a continuously expanding population and most individuals who have hearing loss do not use American Sign Language or other forms of manual communication.

Join us to learn more about the impacts of hearing loss on communication, best practice methods for effectively providing health information, and how facilitating better relationships with patients can lead to improved health care outcomes. Join JHM Language Services and guest speaker Elizabeth Kolberg on April 18 at 1 p.m. for this virtual lunch and learn. Register here to attend.

This event is brought to you by JHM Language Services in coordination with the JHM Office of Diversity, Inclusion and Health Equity.
