Our hospitals offer expert translation services in Spanish and a variety of other languages. Our clinicians work with people affected by neglect or violence, providing the compassionate and specialized care they deserve. We serve people in communities across the state, and our telemedicine service opens new channels for medical practice in underserved rural communities. We also bring excellence in care to our international partners. With your help, we can enhance our presence here and far beyond our state’s borders.
