🔵 [PAS 2026] - Are Language Barriers in the NICU Actually Costing Babies Their Lives?
The Incubator Channel · 27 Apr 2026 · 18 min
Summary
Dr John Feister presents two PAS 2026 studies: one finding nearly double in-hospital NICU mortality for families who prefer a language other than English, persisting after risk adjustment, with possible roles for barriers to family advocacy and end-of-life communication. The second describes a hospital-based free tax preparation clinic as a medical-financial partnership, which helped families claim tax credits and improved trust in the medical team.
