We are who?

Healthysigns.org was created by medical students at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry in western New York. We are an independent student group with close ties to the Deaf Heatlh Pathway program, Medical Humanities program, Community Health Improvement Clerkship program and the National Center for Deaf Health Research.

Our Goals

Our goal in creating this site is two-fold. First, we want to provide a frequently updated resource page for online Deaf health resources. Second, and more importantly, we plan to periodically post ASL videos on various relevant health topics. Rather than duplicate some of the great work done on other sites such as DeafMD.org and DeafDoc.org that use a more lecture style format, our videos will portray a conversation as doctor and patient struggle with learning together about these important topics.

Funding

The Healthy Signs Student Group and the operation of this website are funded by the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry (URSMD) Student Services as a student activities group. Additional funds will be provided by the URSMD Department of Medical Humanities. Funds for content development have come from a variety of grants and are acknowledge individually with the content where applicable. Healthy Signs wishes to thank all of its funders for their generosity and support.

Site Hosting

Healthy Signs Student Group is proud to support DeafVision, a Deaf minority owned and operated web hosting and development company.
