Some of our local branches and networks are already doing a great job providing these kits to those that need them already.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">We are raising funds to reach those who are not currently being reached through existing programs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Hospital staff will benefit from the program as they avoid the frustration, confusion and potential errors that come from communicating with a patient whose hearing loss is not identified. In addition, patients&#8217; families will feel more confident and secure about their loved one&#8217;s ability to communicate and self-advocate when they are on their own during their hospital stay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>ESTIMATED COSTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The estimated cost per hospital kit is $25.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Included in the cost per package are all physical items such as printed signs, visual cues, and administrative support necessary for assembly and distribution of the kits anywhere in Canada.
