Resources in Other Languages - Multilingual

Creating culturally-competent health-care programs and services helps keep our communities healthy and empowers community members to take responsibility for their health and the health of their families. Culturally-competent health care takes into account not only differences in language, but also differences in practices and experiences that affect our expectations in health-care interactions.

UHN targeted languages include Chinese, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Vietnamese.
