These services are free of charge and a patient right.
To request an interpreter, simply inform any staff member or point to one of our “I Speak" posters to indicate your language.
Language assistance services, free of charge, are available to you.

Section 1557 Coordinator
Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act strengthens protections against discrimination in healthcare on the grounds of race, color, national origin, age, disability, or sex. This rule helps reduce language barriers and enhances both physical and digital accessibility. Nicklaus Children's Hospital (NCHS) has taken all required actions to comply with these standards.
