We speak your language

Interpreter and ADA-specific services are available in your preferred language at all times and at no cost to you. When you call us or come in for an appointment, we'll make every effort to talk to you in the language you want to use.

Most of our facilities have bilingual staff who are specially trained to interpret and explain medical terms and procedures.  Many of our physicians also speak more than one language. If one of our qualified staff does not speak your language, we can arrange for an in-person interpreter, or provide interpreter services in more than 140 languages by telephone.

We can also provide you, your family and friends any special assistance to access our facilities and services, including appropriate accommodations or alternative reading format of member information.  Just let us know how we can help.

For more information about our interpreter services, call Member Services.
