Health Care, Medicine and Pharmaceuticals

Health care facilities that serve ethnically diverse communities are faced with the challenge of communicating with their limited English proficiency (LEP) patients in their own language. In fact, the United States government requires many hospitals and medical centers to provide meaningful access to services to non-English speaking or LEP patients.

Targem Translations has been actively involved in assisting the health care industry in providing language access to LEP patients for more than a decade. Our experience, know-how and sensitivity have established us as the exclusive provider of translation services to several distinguished hospitals and health care facilities in the New York metropolitan area.

We translate important patient information, such as HIPAA privacy practices, patient rights and responsibilities, consent forms, pre-procedure instructions, discharge instructions, and educational brochures.

In order to better serve their LEP patients, many medical centers have asked us to translate their patient satisfaction surveys, in-hospital signs and posters, and advertisements and website content, as well as computerized directories accessible to patients via touch screens in hospital hallways and lobbies.

All of our translators are experienced linguists with extensive backgrounds in the relevant health care fields. If necessary, our project managers will work with your multilingual staff to ensure that the translations correspond to the specific cultures and national origins of your facility's patients.

We accept documents for translation in any format and gladly work with facsimiles, email attachments, or hard copies. Our typesetting department will even reconstruct the layout and graphics of the original English document so that the translation resembles the original as closely as possible. Feel free to contact us to request samples of our work or for references of satisfied clients.

Targem's expertise in health care extends to health insurance companies, pharmaceutical corporations, and manufacturers of medical equipment and surgical devices. We are committed to serving every sector of the health care industry with translations that are consistently accurate, culturally sensitive, and easy to read.
