Breaking Barriers in Health Care

The Sundance film Language of Care showcases deaf patient engagement


How can we bridge linguistic and cultural gaps needed to better care for diverse patient populations? The short film Language of Care explores how a community of deaf patients are co-designing their care with U of U Health. It was directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Ross Kauffman and made possible by the support of the Kahlert Foundation. Pictured here are Kauffman and Tamiko Rafeek, a Deaf Diabetes Can Together member, at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival, where the film premiered.
