Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
and Health Care Providers
The passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has mandated that people
with disabilities have equal access to facilities, seminars, exhibits, and any
function accessible to the general public. Private health care providers are
considered public accommodations for purposes of the Act. Our highly skilled
interpreters use sign language skills and spoken English skills to connect the deaf
and hearing. This process ensures each participant the fundamental right to
communicate freely. Download our free guide to learn more about your ADA
responsibilities as a health care provider.
