It is a great way to help both patients and staff of the hospital. Translators have a unique opportunity to experience the patient-doctor relationship in a real-world setting, and are also exposed to other aspects of hospitalization like admitting, discharge, and financial planning. The greatest reward, however, is breaking the language barrier and giving people comfort and understanding to help them through difficult times. The time requirement is very flexible and no volunteer will be forced to work. If a need arises for a translator, be it an emergency, or for a future appointment, the hospital Interpreting/Translating Office will try to locate a volunteer to meet that need. It is preferred that volunteers have a pager, but it is not a requirement. The office may provide pagers to its volunteers for this purpose. The volunteer program is run through the Interpreting/Translating Office located adjacent to the main information desk at the front entrance of the hospital. The office is looking for people who speak any language from any corner of the world.
