We look forward to having this important conversation with you all,

When COVID-19 protocols largely closed down in-person healthcare services, telehealth quickly became an important care access solution. Some healthcare settings were able to quickly adapt their language services to include telehealth, while in others, new language barriers were created, or existing gaps worsened.
