Caring For Deaf Patients in a Medical Setting

Did you know that ASL- “American Sign Language” is the third most spoken language in the U.S.? We sat down with Mary Jane Grine, a CODA (child of a deaf adult) who began interpreting as young as she can remember for her mom. We learned so many heartwarming, funny, and not so funny stories about Mary Jane interpreting for her mom, which we may share in another blog or through our social media platform soon!

Her lifelong firsthand experience offer a powerful window into what Deaf patients need during medical care, which she recently put to use by teaching Harvard students how to better work with Deaf patients in the medical setting.
