Language and Interpretation Services
CHEO offers language interpretation for all patients, clients and their families. You can access these services by letting a member of your care team know that you require interpretation services. They will contact CHEO’s interpreter services department and make the necessary arrangements.
We do our best to accommodate your language preferences and work with many providers to ensure we are providing you with care in your preferred language. These providers include our own independently contracted interpreters, CISOC (Cultural Interpretation Services for Our Communities), Canadian Hearing Society, Sign Language Interpreting Associates Ottawa, and Voyce. With the help of these providers, along with our bilingual staff, we are able to provide you with care in your preferred language 24/7.
