This initiative aligns with Make America Healthy Again Commission goals and supports Executive Order 14224 by improving new Americans’ access to healthcare.Individuals with limited English proficiency face barriers to health care and social services that increase their risk for poor health outcomes. We intend for the funded project to create a National Coordinating Center to connect health and human service professionals with qualified health language interpreters and translators to improve access to language services for individuals limited English proficiency. The funded project will develop technical components needed to host the Center, connect and engage a collaborative network of community-based organizations, and promote the Center nationally to health and human service organizations and agencies.
