Tens of thousands of LEP individuals live in the Columbus area, many of whom rely on free clinics that cannot adequately provide for their linguistic needs. The language barrier hinders effective caregiver-patient communication, negatively impacting health outcomes and medication compliance while causing other health disparities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To alleviate this issue, Vocalize Columbus connects volunteer interpreters with free clinics in need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon meeting our training requirements, our program will connect volunteer interpreters with free clinics in need, offering free remote video interpretation. By participating in this program, interpreters will gain volunteer\/clinical hours for medical\/graduate school or professional development, acquire first-hand experience in patient care, and give back to a community in need.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Free clinics are always better able to help their patients when funding is freed up; by providing interpretation services for free, we hope to help the clinics that need it the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-background-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#00befd\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Be a part of the action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Sign up:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background-background-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/n9HVorjzacHnNzbP6\" style=\"color:#00befd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Students<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background-background-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/2bpDnTog75CXJu166\" style=\"color:#00befd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Clinics<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background-background-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/uRQ54RFUkQVHRiYx7\" style=\"color:#00befd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Interpreters<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Studies have shown that limited English proficiency (LEP) individuals are more financially vulnerable than the average American, affecting their access to quality healthcare.
