ALC Advocacy
ALC has a Commissioner serving on the Certification Commission for Healthcare Interpreters (CCHI), which is dedicated to a national certification for healthcare interpreters. We believe that this certification will raise the standard of our profession and increase the visibility of the important work our interpreters do in the U.S, day-to-day. The ALC is also represented along with over 100 other national associations in a national coalition supporting language access to patients of limited English proficiency.
