Resources for Families
Interpreting Services
We also have interpreters on staff to make sure families and doctors can easily communicate. Our team provides immediate access to interpreters through a combination of in-person, video or telephonic interpretation.
We can interpret most languages, with close to 200 languages available from any hospital phone. Our network of external language service providers have been able to successfully provide interpreters in even the rarest languages.
Telemedicine
Telemedicine currently provides immediate, interactive access via videoconferencing to virtually any of Lurie Children’s more than 1,000 pediatric specialists. This technology has been used around the world to diagnose infants with serious congenital heart diseases, interpret thousands of medical imaging exams, and help assess, stabilize and treat critically ill children.
