ABOUT
LIFESIGNS was
established in 1985 to provide emergency sign language interpreting
services for health care, mental health and law enforcement
agencies. LIFESIGNS responds to 20-30 emergencies a month and
approximately 15,000+ requests annually. LIFESIGNS utilizes a staff
of full time interpreters as well as a large pool of subcontracting
interpreters. LIFESIGNS provides a full spectrum of interpreter
services in ten counties, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. During the
normal business day, interpreters are dispatched through the
LIFESIGNS business office, two regional offices and through a
private answering service after hours and on weekends dispatching
interpreters to medical, mental health or law enforcement
emergencies.
LIFESIGNS coordinates an
average of 30-50 interpreters a day in various settings. LIFESIGNS
uses certified interpreters who possess certification from the
National Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID), National
Association of the Deaf (NAD) all recognized as National Interpreter
Certifications (NIC).
Requests for sign language interpreters come from a variety of
sources: health care personnel, employers, the educational field,
convention planners, the entertainment industry, courts, political
entities and the deaf community.
