To support patients and families with limited English proficiency and D/deaf and hard of hearing patients, AHS provides health care providers in our facilities access to professional medical interpretation and translation services on request.
On-demand over-the-phone professional medical interpretation is provided by a contracted vendor and is available 24/7 in 240 languages across all AHS sites and programs.
Video Remote Interpretation (VRI) is an additional mode of in-person interpretation available in many locations across the province.
