The one where Three Musketeers: Eliana, Jorge and Johanna call for breaking down silos and making friends with allied healthcare workers for the brighter future of language access.

Tune in to our two-guest podcast to learn about the important work Jorge (a new language access advocate) and Johanna (a CCHI vice-chair) do at the Certification Commission for Healthcare Interpreters (CCHI). 

Would you like to know what made Johanna fall in love with medical interpreting and give it preference over a conference interpreter career?

Are you curious how imposter syndrome and exceptional communication skills helped shape Jorge’s professional life? 

  • Then you definitely need to listen to our thought-provoking conversation about: 
  • Doom and gloom feelings spreading among language professionals
  • Systemic gaps in the US healthcare system causing blocks to equal medical services for LEP patients
  • Importance of turning the end users into language access champions
  • Interpreter outsourcing tendencies and their effects on the LSP market 


The time is now to listen to our podcast, get motivated, stop preaching to the choir and start knocking on the doors to make everyone aware of Title 6. 

By the end of the day, the one who walks will master the road. Let’s walk together!
