In Grenoble, a unique center in France was created in 2011 to address unequal access to emergency services for people with deaf, hard of hearing and aphasic people. Under the porch of the Couple Enfant Hospital, a map helps you navigate this labyrinth of the civil service.

But under this charming arched stone passage, hides the only emergency regulation unit for deaf and hard-of- hearing people in France. Dr. Vincent Gautier, emergency doctor and president of the French Sign Language Health Society, gives training.
