The Mid-Maryland Musculoskeletal Institute (MMI) of Frederick in the US will provide sign language interpreters for deaf patients to help them communicate with staff during their consultation.
MMI has entered into a voluntary resolution agreement reached with the US Department of Health and Human Services for the interpretors, following an investigation by the Department’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) into complaints that alleged MMI discriminated on the basis of disability.
