Hello and Happy February!
We are happy to announce that we are adding Spanish translation to our bi-monthly educational series beginning Feb. 20th. We are excited to be the first group in the country to offer this service and hope that this will help us reach those living with arthritis who've previously been unable to access our programs.
Margie Franzen in an interpreter out of Madison, WI. She works as an independent contractor for medical interpretation. Much of her face-to-face hospital interpreting centers on emergency services and care for birthing mothers and their children. In addition to her face-to-face interpreting, she continues to work as a video interpreter. This affords a breadth of experience, in both content areas and demographics, that is hard to come by when working within just one clinical network in a single geographic area.
She is strongly committed to the legal right patients and providers have to quality professional interpretation and/or truly bilingual services.
Please share this opportunity with your community and/or others you think would benefit from joining our group.
Looking forward to see you all on the 20th!
