Mara Youdelman, J.D., CCHI's first Chair and Managing Attorney at the National Health Law Program, discusses opportunities and challenges related to language access that face us over the coming year. Healthcare issues are front-and-center in the looming Presidential campaign cycle and Congressional debates to increase access to health care. This should provide new opportunities to advance language access. Yet, with anti-immigrant sentiment on the rise, we must also fight to protect the rights of limited English proficient individuals. How can interpreters and advocates engage in national and state conversations around improving healthcare access while fighting back against proposals that create fear in communities about accessing health care? The keynote took place on October 12, 2019, during CCHI's first National Healthcare Interpreter Certification Summit in Minneapolis, MN (http://cchicertification.org/10-years/summit/). This course is 1 CE hour (general).
