Our team will be exhibiting at three conferences this fall for free and charitable clinics.
Ask about how medical translation and remote interpretation services help low-income and LEP patients. We would love to see you there!
We’re so excited to exhibit at three different Free and Charitable Clinic conferences this November as part of our effort to support medical providers and limited English proficiency (LEP) patients nationwide! Our team of remote medical interpreters and translators are passionate about breaking down language barriers by partnering with healthcare facilities who serve low-income populations and strive for equitable healthcare access.
Better Outcomes for LEP Patients and Clinic Staff
Our team has been partnering with free and charitable clinics for years, because we deeply believe that every patient deserves compassionate, high-quality care. We have been honored to repeatedly experience how clear communication can shift the entire environment in an exam room, breaking down the doctor-patient language barriers and providing better patient outcomes.
Our team is made up of remote medical interpreters and HIPAA-certified medical translators who are fluent in 300+ languages and dedicated to providing HIPAA compliant remote interpreting and translation services that prioritize both accuracy and empathy. We are experienced in facilitating communication between providers and patients from different backgrounds and cultures, using culturally competent protocols and technology to protect patient’s privacy.
What does this mean for LEP patients? It means that when they need medical care – no matter what language they speak – they will be able to explain their situation and know that their doctor understands them too. And for medical providers? It means that no matter what their specialty is or where they’re located, they can serve all patients without worrying about language barriers standing in their way.
Our medical translators are skilled at translating patient literature so that patients can walk into their doctors’ offices confidently, armed with knowledge regarding their health concerns, and prepared to ask the right questions. In turn, physicians will be able to understand exactly what it is their patients need so that they can create an appropriate plan of care and provide clear written instructions.
Especially critical for low-income patient populations and LEP senior patients, the ability to access language services at healthcare facilities has been shown to significantly improve patient outcomes, including receiving more recommended preventive services, attending more office visits, and successfully fulfilling more prescriptions. Our medical interpreters and translators ensure that this improved level of care is provided to LEP patients who seek medical care with any of our partnering providers.
Come Meet Our Team In-Person
In November, we will be exhibiting at three different conferences, and we would love to meet anyone attending (especially if we have only partnered with your healthcare organization remotely, and we have not had the chance to shake your hand in person). Our hope is to continue building relationships with more compassionate healthcare providers so our team can support low-income, LEP patients nationwide.
