3rd Annual TAHIT Symposium on Language Access
April 17 & 18, 2009
Holiday Inn - Austin Town Lake
Austin Texas

With soaring health care costs, understaffed hospitals, and an increasingly diverse immigrant population facing the Texas healthcare industry, the Texas Association of Healthcare Interpreters and Translators has invited leading organizations and individuals from across the nation to explore ways to decrease costs and increase access while serving patient populations in languages other than English.
Healthcare providers and hospital administratorswill learn how to address the needs of increasingly diverse patient populations while controlling costs, achieving compliance, and improving access.
Interpreters, translators, and bilingual individuals will learn about the unique needs of the healthcare provider, the healthcare language professional and the environment in which they work.Join us on April 17 & 18 in Austin Texas for this important event.

Organized by The Texas Association of Healthcare Interpreters and Translators
The Texas Association of Healthcare Interpreters and Translators was formed to address the inconsistency in qualifications for professional interpreters in the state of Texas. TAHIT is working to achieve standard qualifications for the healthcare interpreter to ensure accurate transmission of vital medical information and provision of excellent healthcare to all, regardless of their ability to speak English.
