Interpretation / language support

Language support varies by facility. Some hospitals have multilingual staff, medical interpreters or remote interpretation; others do not. BRIDGE can help call ahead, ask what language support is available, prepare questions and support communication. Medical interpretation should stay faithful to what the patient and clinician say rather than adding medical advice.

What BRIDGE can tell you now

Important

BRIDGE provides navigation and communication support, not diagnosis or treatment advice. Confirm medical decisions with the medical institution or qualified clinician.
