Why train your bilingual staff to interpret? 

Research shows that trained, qualified interpreters can:

  • Reduce medical (and other) errors.

  • Enhance quality of care and service.

  • Improve patient and client satisfaction.

  • Reduce costs.

  • Enhance understanding of written communications (consent forms, discharge instructions, prescriptions, legal forms, etc.).

  • Lower hospital readmission rates. 

We will:

  • Train your staff (or volunteers) to interpret.

  • Make training simple, easy and smooth for your employees.

  • Put them on the path to certification.

  • Help protect your organization from legal liability when your staff interpret.

  • Offer you licensing agreements so that any number of employees per year can access training.
