New Parking Policy for Agency Interpreters at Swedish facilities.
Agency Interpreters can show their photo id badge from the company that they work for and be able to receive the $10.00 patient rate for parking. The $10.00 goes into effect for 4- 24 hours. Parking for less than 4 hours will receive the hourly rate. Interpreters can also access city curbside parking at established rates, or park at a park and ride lot and use a bus as an alternative. Interpreters may also use the Swedish shuttle service between the campuses of Met Park, First Hill and Cherry Hill, so if parking is found at one location, it might be best to leave your car there and take the shuttle.
Please note: If you pay the rate at FH, it won’t carry over to CH since the CH location is privately owned and operated.
A big thanks to Swedish for considering this discount!
Flu update: Swedish Medical Center has provided a status report concerning H1N1 flue (also known as swine flu):
There are kiosks at entrances and lobbies at SMC locations that have masks, gloves and gel for all visitors to use; please encourage your interpreters to use these and especially be careful to wash or gel their hands before and after being with a patient. If they must go to a patient who is in isolation, they should be offered to “gown up” and tell them to ask for this, or any other protective gear they may wish to have when they are with patients. Please also tell them that if they are themselves showing illness or signs of the flu, they need to stay home, call their own doctor for the antiviral medication, but don’t go into the healthcare environment.
