Your Career at Montefiore St. Luke's Cornwall
Welcome to what we know will be an exciting career at Montefiore St. Luke's Cornwall! Working at MSLC is not llike working at any other hospital. Our centers of excellence in cancer, cardiac and orthopedic care offer optimum treatment close to home.
Relating to Patients and Families
The Effective Communication and Cultural Competence Initiative is providing the means to make the Hospital more accessible, welcoming and more inviting for all patients and families, whatever their linguistic, cultural, dietary or spiritual needs. The initiative coordinates and unifies many ongoing division-specific projects and programs working toward a more culturally competent workplace. It also provides institution-wide training and education. Signs are posted at hospital entrances in multiple languages to let the foreign language or deaf patient know that interpreter services are available free of charge.
Some resources we provide to patients and families include:
- Language Interpretation
- 24/7 over the phone interpreter services, free of charge
- Speed dial *0100 to access interpreter service from any phone in the building
- Interpreter conferencing to make outbound calls
- Portable and dual handset interpreter phones
- Document translation
- Deaf/Hard of Hearing Services
- 24/7 professional sign language interpreters, free of charge
- Telecommunication Device for the Deaf (TDD/TTY)
- New York Relay Service, 800-421-1220, free service used to connect to the patient or family member who uses a TDD/TTY
- Special phones that blink when the phone rings for the hard of hearing

Our Nutrition Services are also prepared to create meals that accommodate various cultural and dietary needs of those we serve.
