Community Hospital has access to resources to provide interpretation for our patients who have communication barriers such as limited English proficiency or deafness. 

To respect confidentiality and to ensure that the patient receives accurate interpretation, it is Banner’s policy that a patient’s family or friends not be used to interpret.  

To access interpretation services for a patient, please inform the patient's nurse.
