Addressing Health Care Disparities Through Cultural Competence

Many patients need to receive health care services in languages other than English. At Steward, we are dedicated to ensuring that all our patients can freely communicate with their health care providers at all times.

Steward has resources available at each of our hospitals to facilitate communication between our providers and their Limited English Proficiency (LEP) patients. As a community-based accountable care organization, our interpreters are well versed in the top languages of the communities we serve and sensitive to their specific needs. We also provide access to trained medical interpreters via telephone and remote video interpretation to ensure that we can support more than 200 languages and dialects for both scheduled and unscheduled appointments 24 hours a day. Our technology includes support for American Sign Language when in-person interpreters are unavailable.

Our interpreters are experts at helping patients navigate their health care experiences and ensuring that their cultural traditions are respected. We also offer a number of educational support services directly to LEP patients in their preferred languages. We are proud to have a diverse, experienced team of professionals to ensure our patients and providers have their language and cultural access needs promptly served. 

Steward’s predecessor, Caritas Christi Health Care, strongly advocated for the 2001 Massachusetts Emergency Room Interpreter Law and similar initiatives with the understanding that improved language access is a win-win for health care providers and the communities they serve. Caritas was also the founding member of the Forum On the Coordination of Interpreter Services (FOCIS), a medical interpreter leadership association promoting best practices in Massachusetts. Steward Health Care remains committed to the mission of providing a consistent standard of care for all patients in their preferred language(s) regardless of circumstance.
