Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital now has a device that will help communication between their hearing impaired and Spanish-speaking patients.

Imagine you are a patient trying to communicate your needs to a doctor, but they can’t understand you. A new machine could fix that. The Language Line Rover puts patients and doctors in touch with an interpreter.

“The operator comes on and we share with the operator what we need whether it’s American sign, Mexican sign or the Spanish spoken language,” says Phyllis Bush, Director of Guest Services.

It’s a form of teleconferencing, doctor and patient are face to face with an interpreter.
