The ongoing pandemic has affected vulnerable communities, exacerbating the language barrier and other challenges to medical care faced by limited English proficiency (LEP) patients. Vocalize Columbus is striving to expand access to important interpretation services by recruiting volunteer medical interpreters to provide services for free and charitable clinics in Ohio. Our service is language neutral - we welcome support in all languages from those experienced in medical interpretation. We are in the process of recruiting volunteers for remote (video) medical interpretation.

Connecting trained students and professional medical interpreters with free clinics to provide language services for limited English proficiency patients.
Founded in 2020, Vocalize Columbus is an organization striving to expand access to free medical interpretation services for free and charitable clinics in Ohio. Studies have shown that limited English proficiency (LEP) individuals are more financially vulnerable than the average American, affecting their access to quality healthcare with the language barrier providing additional challenges. The team at Vocalize Columbus hopes to improve health outcomes and patient experience for the thousands of LEP individuals living in the greater Columbus area by connecting volunteer interpreters to serve free clinics in need. We are currently recruiting interpreters who are interested in remote medical interpretation and have documented certification (CCHI or NCBMI) in their target languages. Volunteers will have the opportunity to gain volunteer/clinical hours, acquire first-hand experience in patient care, and give back to a community in need.
We'll work with your schedule.
This is a Virtual Opportunity, with no fixed address.
