Translating Care
Understanding your child’s condition and treatment is key to your family’s peace of mind and your ability to make sound medical decisions for your child. That’s why we offer interpreter services for people who speak languages other than English and for the deaf and hard of hearing.
All interpreters are qualified to provide medical interpretation and language assistance in a healthcare setting. That means they’ve had special training to accurately translate your child’s medical information in your preferred language.
Need an Interpreter?
If you or your child need an interpreter, please request one when scheduling the appointment.
