Point at your language. We will find you a person.
You should not have to read English — or read at all — to find out that a clinic will see you. Find your language below, or just call and say it. Someone will call you back who speaks it.
Diga su idioma. Eso es todo.
The clinic will see you.
This is true today, without us. It is the law, not a favor.
The health center in this neighborhood will see you. They do not ask for immigration papers. They do not ask for insurance. They do not turn anyone away. They charge based on what you can pay — for many families, that is little or nothing.
El centro de salud de este barrio te va a atender. No piden papeles migratorios. No piden seguro. No rechazan a nadie. Cobran según lo que puedas pagar — para muchas familias, eso es poco o nada.
Phòng khám trong khu phố này sẽ khám cho quý vị. Họ không hỏi giấy tờ di trú. Họ không hỏi bảo hiểm. Họ không từ chối ai. Họ tính tiền dựa trên khả năng chi trả của quý vị — với nhiều gia đình, số tiền đó rất ít hoặc bằng không.

Translation pending review by a Khmer speaker. We will not publish text in your language that we cannot vouch for. Please call the number above — say “Khmer” — and we will call you back with an interpreter.
Translation pending review by a Lao speaker. Please call the number above — say “Lao” — and we will call you back with an interpreter.
We are not going to publish a bad translation in your language. Machine translation into Mayan languages is unreliable, and many speakers read Spanish more easily than their first language anyway. What you need is a person, not a page. Call the number above and say your language — we work to reach an interpreter, and we are hiring speakers of these languages first.
Why this page looks like this. Our site is all text, which means it fails anyone who does not read comfortably — in any language. A phone number and a human being beat six translations. If your language is not here, call anyway. Not being able to read this page is not a reason to go without a doctor.
Hiring is the translation strategy
We hire speakers, not translators
A website in Mam serves almost nobody. A neighbor who speaks Mam serves everyone who speaks Mam. When we hire, language is a qualification we pay for — not a favor we ask for.
We are getting the real data
We do not actually know which languages are spoken in this neighborhood today — we know its history, which is not the same thing. School district home-language records are the best public measure of a neighborhood’s living languages. We are asking for them before we guess again.
Every translation gets a human check
Including the Spanish on this site, which was drafted with machine assistance and is being reviewed by native speakers from this neighborhood. If something reads wrong to you, tell us — you would be doing us a favor.
