Our Interpreter Services team is committed to providing our patients with the highest quality of care, and accurate and complete interpretation services to patients and their families at no charge.

We work with a variety of patients, including non-English speakers and deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals.

Our interpreters are available in person at the hospital and by telephone depending on the patient’s needs. We provide the following interpreting services:

Interpreter Phone on a Pole

We offer portable speakerphones called Interpreter Phone on a Pole (IPOP) that are available in most inpatient and outpatient locations. IPOP units can be wheeled into a patient’s room and connected to an interpreter 24 hours a day.

Deaf Talk

Deaf Talk is also available and is a wireless video interpreting system that provides on-demand American Sign Language interpreters to our patients.
