Abstract:
With almost 14 percent of the nation's population speaking a language other than English, overcoming language barriers is critical to health care. There are almost 300,000 Spanish speakers in North Carolina, along with a growing list of other nationalities. Perkins discusses the need for translation services during health care visits, factors that inhibit appropriate language access, and laws governing linguistic access to health care.
