CHHA Manitoba Chapter has recently been advised that we have been successful in obtaining grant monies from The Winnipeg Foundation to support our Hard of Hearing Hospital Kits pilot-project. We look forward to working with representatives at Health Science Centre to collaborate on our joint venture to have hard of hearing hospital kits available to self-identified hard of hearing patients on various pre-selected units. We are optimistic that the kits will ensure that health care workers are better able to recognize and respond to the communication needs of the hard of hearing patient population.
A big thank you is extended to everyone involved in developing the grant proposal to make this project a reality. Additional information will be published under the Access tab once the project has been fully implemented.
