UF Health serves a diverse population of patients who may have difficulty communicating because they have impaired vision, they have some degree of deafness, English is their second language or they speak no English at all.

Medical interpreters are available at no cost 24/7, in compliance with federal and state laws, to assist patients, their family members and other legally authorized persons.

• American Sign Language (ASL) for the hearing-impaired
• Language interpreters for non-English speakers
• Tactile interpreters for patients who are blind, deaf or hard of hearing

An interpreter can be requested for future appointments by filing out the Interpreter Request Form on the Bridge under Employee Services. For same-day services, call 244.4427.
