Developed for medical professionals in the hospital or prehospital setting, the Visual
Communications Cards support meaningful interactions between youth, their families, and clinicians during critical health moments. Usable in several scenarios and settings, the cards support both in-patient hospital care and field environments. Designed for ease of use, they feature bright, engaging imagery that helps bridge communication gaps between healthcare providers and patients, including those who are non-verbal or speak a different language.
