Fostering Understanding in Healthcare:
The Role of AMN Healthcare Language Services at Ronald McDonald House
For organizations like the Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth, where families from diverse linguistic backgrounds seek solace and support, bridging language barriers makes an impact. Enter AMN Healthcare Language Services, providing solutions and empathy in language interpretation and improving how care is delivered across cultures.
A Story of Impact and Connection
In a heartfelt testimonial, Kayla Went, the Family Support Services Manager at the Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth, shares the journey to secure dependable, proven language services at her organization. Initially faced with the challenge of communicating with families who speak languages other than English, the organization grappled with ineffective translation tools that hindered meaningful interaction. "We often had to use Google Translate, which wasn't always very helpful," Kayla recalls. The staff and the families felt their voices were lost in translation.
The introduction of AMN Language Services marked a turning point. With access to qualified medical interpreters at the click of a button, the Ronald McDonald House could finally offer families the personalized and compassionate communication they deserved. Kayla highlights, "With a click of a button, we were connected to somebody who spoke that language. "This seamless, compliant connectivity fostered an environment of understanding and enhanced the experience for both families and staff.
Real Results, Genuine Satisfaction
The testimonial goes beyond narratives, offering tangible results. Approximately 40% of the families in Fort Worth are Spanish-speaking, a demographic that previously faced communication hurdles. With AMN Language Services, these families can now receive the same level of care and attention as English-speaking guests, all thanks to the quick and reliable interpreter connections. "The time we have saved from having these interpreter tools has been huge," Kayla notes, emphasizing the service's operational efficiency.
