UC San Diego Health ensures that our patients have access to free interpretation and language services 24 hours per day to help them communicate with health care providers while in the hospital or during appointments. Services may be provided in person, by phone or by video. We offer the following:
- Trained interpreters
- Language line services
- American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters
- Network interpreting
Interpreters are also available to join
video visits. Patients do not need to request this service in advance. When you check in for your appointment, please tell the staff that you need an interpreter and they will request one for you.
