Fatima Nunez de Jaimes, and Felicia Batts, and Christine Noguera, and Lourdes Guerrero, and Gerardo Moreno

Bilingual staff is used to provide interpreter services in community health centers. Little is known about the language proficiency of dual-role staff interpreters. Golden Valley Health Centers implemented a formal language assessment program to improve the number of qualified dual-role staff interpreters and ultimately improve the quality of patient care.
