This webinar will provide legal and operational guidance to help healthcare providers, government agencies, and other public-serving organizations understand what’s happening at the federal level and how best to implement federal language access requirements.

The session will cover recent policy developments, clarify the concept of “meaningful access,” and provide clear steps to assess and improve your current language access programs. In addition, there will be an opportunity to pose your language access questions to the speaker.
