We serve the healthcare community with responsive language services to improve patient experience and health outcomes
In 2008, future Linguava CEO David Brackett began his career as a Spanish medical interpreter. He loved working with language and having the ability to serve others. The concept of being part of a medical care team resonated with him.
But within a short time, he began to notice big problems with the industry he had entered. Most interpreters he met were being treated with casual disregard by their language service providers and were suffering through their work. Checks from his agency would frequently bounce. Communication between agency, interpreter, and medical provider was deficient. Provider training was inadequate. The network he expected to see, between language service provider, interpreters, the medical community and their patients, was broken. Ultimately, the patients were the ones who suffered the most from this broken system. So he began to envision a better way forward. The result of his ideas led to the founding of Linguava in 2010.
The Linguava language service provider model features consistent language access training for medical providers. Linguists are valued, receive proper onboarding, access to training, and become team members connecting through an essential community. Ultimately, limited-English-proficient and Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing patients would experience equal access that led to better health outcomes and health equity.
