Shareholder and Chairman of the National Council on Disability, Andrés J. Gallegos, will be a featured presenter for 2axend’s Deaf and Hard of Hearing Experiences in Healthcare Summit scheduled October 21. Communication access for millions of persons who are Deaf or hard of hearing continues to be elusive in all healthcare settings. The inability for those persons to communicate effectively with their healthcare providers can have grave consequences for the patient and create significant legal exposure for the provider.
With this in mind, Andrés will discuss the recent dramatic changes in the legal landscape affecting persons who are Deaf or hard of hearing; insight to compel change within healthcare organizations; and provide best practices to ensure organizations satisfy federal nondiscrimination laws.
