Film on deaf women debuts

A new film that examines health care issues facing many deaf women will make its debut on Wednesday, June 18, at Strong Memorial Hospital. The one-hour film, which features deaf characters interacting with real physicians, addresses issues such as pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and gynecological exams.

Written and produced by PAH, MD--a medical student group dedicated to deaf health care issues--and the Deaf Wellness Center at Strong Memorial Hospital, the film will be shown at 6:30 p.m. in Room 1-9041 at Strong Behavioral Health. A question-and-answer session as well as refreshments will follow, and free copies of the video will be available for local agencies.

Deaf women of any age, parents of deaf women, health care providers, educators, and all others involved in issues affecting deaf women are invited to attend. To learn more, call the Deaf Wellness Center at x5-6785 (voice/TTY) or e-mail Robert_Pollard@urmc.rochester.edu.
