The area’s rising Hispanic population has heightened the need for new services — which is what Cristina Ruggiero is offering for St. Elizabeth Regional Health.
In May, Ruggiero started in a newly created position of cultural coordinator for St. Elizabeth Regional Health, which operates Home Hospital and St. Elizabeth Medical Center. In February, Ruggiero will start teaching medical Spanish classes to staff at the hospitals.
Unlike the language translation phone services many medical facilities rely on — and St. Elizabeth still uses in some situations — Ruggiero can work in person with patients to learn what’s wrong and explain medical procedures.”*
