The Lansing (MI) State Journal (4/14, Banta) reports, “Staff at McLaren Greater Lansing violated the Americans with Disabilities Act when they failed to provide a woman with an American Sign Language interpreter, a woman claims in a federal lawsuit.” According to the lawsuit, Christine Ketola, who is deaf, “suffered the protracted humiliation of not understanding her medical care.” McLaren said in a statement, “Our facility utilizes technology which allows for communication with our patients and families when English is not a first language, including American Sign Language interpreter services for patients with hearing disabilities.”.
