Southeast Asian Outreach Program
 As
part of our dedication to the Asian community in South Philadelphia,
Methodist Hospital has created the Southeast Asian Outreach
Program.
Led by Outreach Coordinator Trang Pham, this program seeks
to bridge understanding between the Southeast Asian community
and Methodist Hospital staff. Trang and her staff are available
24 hours a day, seven days a week by calling 215-952-1400.
Her offices are located on the first floor of Methodist Hospital.This
program provides our non-English speaking patients with an
Intercultural Mediator who can:
- Make appointments and ask health-related questions on
behalf of patients
- Accompany patients on appointments and translate information
- Fill out forms, such as those needed for insurance reimbursement
- Visit the pharmacy with patients to help them obtain prescription
medications
- Explain how to properly take prescription medications,
and discuss possible drug interactions with the pharmacist
- Explain test results and healthcare options
The staff at Methodist Hospital respects the cultural differences
of all patients. Doctors, nurses and other clinical specialists
try to explain every thing they do so that patients can make
healthcare decisions in accordance with their own cultural values.
We want patients to make decisions that will make them feel
comfortable.
Whether you need to stay in the hospital or schedule a doctor's
appointment, Methodist Hospital's Southeast Asian Outreach
Program can help you.
Visiting a doctor or staying in the hospital can be difficult,
even when you speak the same language. With the Southeast
Asian Outreach Program at Methodist Hospital, it is much easier.
