Language barriers are a critical, yet often overlooked, dimension of improving health care experiences and outcomes. The 2026 Language Access in Healthcare Symposium - West offers researchers, administrators, policymakers, and hospital system leaders the opportunity to learn about pivotal research, policies, and initiatives aimed at improving language access within health systems.
Join us to connect with your peers, hear from experts, and learn about how we can build a more accessible healthcare system for patients with language access needs.
