Culturesmart’s list of clients
includes hospitals and health centers
across the U.S.
To date (2005), our program has
trained more than 2,000 interpreters.
In 2004, we trained close to 300
bilingual individuals who speak
over 8 languages
Healthcare organizations Culturesmart
has worked with include:
"“They [Culturesmart
Consultants] have excellent
training and assessment skills.
They are both knowledgeable and
people-focused. With so many
years of experience, they bring
great perspective from having worked
with both patients and providers.
They deliver a curriculum over ten
years in development."”
Shari Gold Gomez
Director, Interpreter Services
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center
"Working with Culturesmart
has been one of the most productive
partnerships our department has
undertaken. They worked very hard
at tailoring a staff-training program
that met our specific and very challenging
demands. They delivered on time
and met every goal as scheduled
in the original proposal. The vast
knowledge and professionalism of
their trainers gave depth to the
curriculum. Our medical interpreter
staff was able to enrich their knowledge
in interpreting skills, medical
terminology and cultural competency.
This has been one of the best investments
made for this department."
Oscar Arocha
Director Interpreter Services Department
& Guest Support Services
Boston Medical Center
“Culturesmart is a key player
in making healthcare delivery to
non-English speaking populations
manageable from the hospital point
of view.
"They are “systems
thinkers” who can help hospitals
evaluate their multi-lingual services
to immigrant groups in a cost-effective
manner. They can represent
a wide spectrum of people that need
to be trained -- from clinicians
to medical interpreters –
and train them in a coordinated
effort so that they can work as
a team."”
Janice Peterson
Director of Interpreter Program
"“As a healthcare
administrator, I am concerned about
our budget. I have found that
Culturesmart has great strategic
perspective and their client relationship
well maintained. They work
to the strength of those they work
with."
