Crone, President/CEO Frances D. Green, Senior vice President, Patient services Re: Collier County Hispanic Affairs Advisory Board/Naples Community Hospital Language Restriction Policy Dear Ladies and Gentlemen: The Hispanic Affairs Advisory Board of Collier County was appointed in 1991 by the County Commission to identify areas of concern unique to the Hispanic Community of Collier County and to make recommendations to the Commission to properly address such concerns. In compliance with this mission this Board holds monthly public meetings allowing members of the community to voice their concerns, problems and needs. As a result, the Board initiates a process of fact finding and investigation in the area of concern with parties believed to be part of the subject issues. During our last meeting on February 29, 1996, members of the public brought to our attention a certain unwritten policy, that Naples Community Hospital recently made public in the local newspaper, under which you prohibit your employees from speaking languages other than English. Given the fact that in certain circumstances, a significant number of Hispanics are employed by Naples Community Hospital at different levels and that Naples Community Hospital provides medical services to people of diverse nationalities and cultures, we perceive such a restrictive policy to be a threat to the best interest of our local economy, culture and use of our autochthonous language. It is the purpose of this letter to request that a meeting be scheduled within the next ten days, at a mutually convenient time, with representatives of Naples Community Hospital's March 13, 1996 Page 2 directors, executi ve management and this Board to openly and fully discuss this unwritten policy and related concerns. Chief Assistant County Attorney Ramiro Maf'ialich is the County staff liaison to the Hispanic Affairs Advisory Board. Please respond to this request by calling HAAB Chairman, Frank Rodriguez at 435-7635 during regular office hours and/or providing a written confirmation for the meeting through the Office of the County Attorney at 3301 East Tamiami Trail, Naples, Florida 33962. Your prompt response to this request will be greatly appreciated.
