Overcoming multilingual challenges in creating awareness of Medical issues
In order to create awareness of major or common diseases, San Francisco's hospitals and health organizations have had to come up with ways in which to reach out to non-English speakers of the community.
Since this includes a significant percentage of all immigrants, the efforts were necessary.
The Stanford Hospital and Clinics' online Health Library is one such initiative. It provides information about a number of diseases and health disorders in several languages ranging from Albanian to Vietnamese.
