Deaf / Hard of Hearing / Interpreter Service

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, persons with disabilities are entitled to reasonable accommodations during their health care visit at SIUH. If you are a person with a disability who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, or has a record of such impairment, or is regarded as having such impairment, you are entitled to a reasonable accommodation. For example, if you are an individual who is deaf or hard of hearing and you communicate through American Sign Language, you are entitled to request a Sign Language Interpreter.
