NCIHC Stands with Language Access Professionals in Minnesota and Beyond

Dear colleagues in Minnesota and across the country,

We want to acknowledge the healthcare interpreters, translators, managers, clinicians, and community members in Minnesota and other states who are carrying an extraordinary emotional and professional burden right now.

Our work is essential to patient safety, trust, and dignity, especially in moments of fear, uncertainty, and crisis. We recognize that when patients are impacted, professionals are impacted too, because these are your communities, your families, and your neighbors.

Please know that NCIHC sees you, values your work, and stands with you. Your commitment to ethical, compassionate communication continues to matter deeply for patients and your colleagues that serve them.

With respect and solidarity,
National Council on Interpreting in Health Care
