Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center - Features

Quality Care with Compassion and Respect. Vision- Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center is a primary care community hospital serving the health care needs of all members of the population within its service area. HPMC strives to distinguish itself as a community healthcare provider, recognized for providing quality, innovative care in a compassionate manner.

Interpreter Services
Patient Relations wants to ensure effective communication between healthcare providers and the patients/families who do not speak English by providing access to interpretation services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our in-person interpreters are "trained" in medical interpretation. To help facilitate communication, Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center uses Cyra Com language interpretation phones. These are dual handset telephones that are located hospital-wide to facilitate communication when a live interpreter is not available.

Patients are informed of the availability of interpreter services upon admission to the hospital. If they choose, staff will place a language identifier on the patient's wrist band and give a card to the patient which can be shown to health care providers indicating their need for an interpreter.

By choosing to volunteer at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center you will be helping us to achieve our goal of continuously improving not only the quality of our medical care, but also the quality of our service to our patients, our visitors, and to each other.

Although, many of the hospitals services are performed by its professional staff...doctors, nurses, technicians, there are many activities which do not require specialized background, yet contribute to the "total care" of the patient. All roles affect patients and their families in direct and vital ways, no matter how remote from patient care these roles may appear.

It is in these areas that volunteers make an important contribution. The generous gift of your time, talent and enthusiastic assistance frees the staff to devote its time to patient care giving comfort and peace of mind to both the patient and his/her family.
