What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Interpreting Services

DHCC is familiar with the communication needs of the Deaf consumer and uses its processes to determine which interpreter has the skill to work most effectively with a particular Deaf person.

DHCC works to fill assignments with a qualified interpreter at all of the either onsite or remote (video remote interpreting) assignments. DHCC has an excellent reputation in the community and has experience providing interpreters in all types of situations. Our sign language interpreters are thoroughly screened prior to working with our customers.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

We exist to make our region more inclusive. We work to facilitate communication in the lives of the Deaf, hard of hearing, DeafBlind and their families, friends, schools, employers and service providers.

We advocate and educate to promote understanding and connection between the various cultures we serve so that all of the people of our community can reap the rewards that come from the complete self-actualization of every human being.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

DHCC works directly with our customers and also with consumer organizations and service providers. We work closely with the Pennsylvania Chapter of Hearing Loss Association of America (HLA-PA), to advocate for services and share information. For example, a member of HLA participates in our sensitivity training sessions to explain first hand about the impact of hearing loss on a hard of hearing person. DHCC also assists the Pennsylvania Society for the Advancement of the Deaf (PSAD) by sharing information and promoting their issues. For example, DHCC continues to play an essential role as we provide staff resources, supplies, and expertise to minimize the effect of the closing of a nursing home/assisted living facility for Deaf and Deaf-blind individuals.

We refer consumers to PAHrtners, (formerly the Deaf Services Center (DSC)) and work with them on various advocacy efforts. We work in partnership with the Pennsylvania School for the Deaf (PSD) and other organizations to coordinate sign language classes at their location.

DHCC works closely with the interpreter community. We have an advisory committee that monitors our Interpreter Referral Department and brings us feedback from the interpreters. This committee is a unique collaboration and has helped us develop and revise policies and procedures to improve services and our working relationship with interpreters. DHCC is a recognized Certification Maintenance Program (CMP) under the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID), which allows us to assist organizations and interpreters to obtain Continuing Education Units (CEUs).

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

Since 1972, DHCC has provided specialized services, which include: Sign Language Interpreting Services, Real-Time Captioning Services, Information and Referral, Advocacy, Community Outreach, Sign Language Classes, Sensitivity Training, and Workshops. These services are provided to Deaf, hard of hearing, DeafBlind, and hearing individuals of all ages, faiths, races, cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds. DHCC does not discriminate according to race, age, religion, gender, disability or sexual orientation. There is a high demand for communication access and we continually work to distinguish ourselves from the competition. DHCC recruits the most qualified interpreters and we are the only service in the area that hires independent evaluators to screen the interpreters' skills. We also have an in-person job interview and check references. We are continually recruiting new interpreters. We expect all of our pre-certified interpreters to become nationally certified within two years of passing our screening. We have been very successful and 95% of our interpreters are certified and registered in Pennsylvania to comply with the Interpreters Services Act.

DHCC is the only interpreter referral service with an advisory committee comprised of hearing and Deaf interpreters. We rely on their input to improve our services and the quality of our subcontracted interpreters

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

DHCC recently reached an important milestone: over one million hours of interpretive services rendered to our community.

While DHCC has experienced extraordinary success to date, a new strategic plan has been approved by the Board of Directors which charts a path to a future where technology will continue to have an ever-increasing impact on our clients. That technology will eventually fill some of the needs that are currently met through interpretation services. Correspondingly, there is an increased focus on gaps which have been identified in the life path of our clients. For example, while hard skills for the workplace are commonly taught, the soft skills of workplace culture rarely are addressed. DHCC is developing programs in order to take an active role in the life of a young Deaf, hard of hearing or DeafBlind person. The goal is to bridge the gap between school and the workplace by teaching important skills which often come organically to members of the hearing community, but less so to the Deaf, hard of hearing and DeafBlind.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

Data

We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.

Policies and processes

We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
