Medical Group settles ADA complaint

Kaiser Permanente has settled a federal ADA complaint over failing to provide a qualified sign language interpreter or other reasonable service to a deaf patient at its Baldwin Park Medical Center.

The patient was not provided these services before or after a medical procedure. According to a news release from the Dept. of Justice:

"Southern California Permanente Medical Group and Kaiser Foundation Hospitals have agreed to provide equipment and services free of charge to ensure that people who are deaf or hard of hearing have full and equal access to medical appointments, treatments and emergency visits at this medical center."
