Medical interpreters make decisions every day that directly impact patient access, equity, and safety. Join Jessica Bellemore, MSN, RN, board-certified MSRN (Medical-Surgical Registered Nurse), for an engaging workshop that dives into how interpreter choices shape healthcare outcomes for Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard-of-Hearing patients.
