Language Access + Health Equity Go Hand in Hand

Language barriers can be detrimental to receiving adequate healthcare. But there are steps you can take to champion language access and advocate for your organization's limited-English speaking patients.

Download the Health Equity Checklist to learn the steps you can take to champion equal access to care in your organization. Plus, we'll also send you a copy of our guide, Designing Your Ideal Language Access Plan.
