Interpreters are one of the few individuals who experience all facets of the health care system. In this webinar, participants will learn how interpreters’ suggested improvements for Limited English Proficient (LEP) and deaf patients were implemented for all patients which resulted in the break-down of barriers to care and reduced discrimination, benefitting all facets of experience across their healthcare system.
