Interpreter services for deaf and hard of hearing patients

Interpreter services for deaf and hard of hearing patients

Monday, July 17, 2023

HSN is committed to reducing and removing barriers for our patients and families with disabilities. We want all of our clinics and treatment areas to be safe and inclusive spaces for everyone.

If you are deaf or hard of hearing and coming to HSN for care, please contact the clinic or unit in advance of your visit so the staff there can arrange for the services you need. 

Please use the main hospital telephone number 705-523-7100 to contact the appropriate clinic or unit. 

For unplanned or emergency visits, you may also ask an hospital employee to contact Canadian Hearing Services at 1-866-518-0000 or by email at urgent@chs.ca to make arrangements for an ASL/LSQ interpreter.

Please contact the Patient Relations Office at 705-523-7100 extension 3737 or by email at patientrelations@hsnsudbury.ca if you have feedback on how services are delivered to people with disabilities or if you have any questions or concerns related to our accessibility commitment to you.
