VOLUNTEER INTERPRETERS

Are you fluent in Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin, or other language and want to help make it possible for non-English speakers to receive necessary medical care? Over 75% of our patients are not fluent English speakers, so interpreters are a critical need!

Opportunities include:

> Speaking with patients by phone to conduct eligibility screenings and inform them of appointments.
> On-site interpretation between the patient and a doctor, throughout the week and on Saturdays.


For information, contact us via telephone,email or apply with our online form(click here).
