<p class="MsoNormal">My name is Liam Doyle. I am the ADA Coordinator for the Patient Family Engagement department at Tampa General Hospital. We spoke previously in December of last year while I was applying for the position at TGH.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am writing today in the hopes that you could connect me with a patient or patients that recently
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(within the last 6 months to 1 year) visited TGH for an appointment or procedure. Failing that timeframe, if you have someone who has a clear memory of a TGH visit, we would love to speak with them.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are aiming to create a series of focus groups that deal with the positive and negative aspects of those visits as it relates to patients with disabilities. We want to learn from first-hand perspective and experience what we are doing
right and where we are falling short so that we can improve our best practices and hospital wide procedures to ensure world class care to all of our patients.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The disabilities we want to prioritize in the first series of focus groups are the following:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1.Mobility/Developmental Disabilities<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">3. Deaf/HOH/Deafblind<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">4. Autism <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please feel free to reach out if you have one or more patients who you feel would be interested in participating, or if you have suggestions of other organizations within the Bay Area to reach out to.<o:p></o:p></p>
