Description

Discussed challenges faced by perinatal clients. The number of Haitian patients has increased. Haitian Creole translation is crucial. One pediatrician often acts as a primary translator rather than relying on the Language Line. Discussed the multiple issues with adding infants to insurance, including designating a child's name generically as "son" or "daughter."
