Spanish Translators Needed – Volunteer Opportunity

Spanish Translaters Needed Stony Brook Hospital on Long Island is currently in dire need of bilingual people who can help translate between medical staff and patients/families. They have a particular need for Spanish speakers. No medicla background needed, just the ability to help bridge that communication gap. This would all be done remotely, through Zoom, Skype or Facetime, and no specific hours are necessary. The hospital is looking for a deep bench of volunteers they can call on during those moments when they need this sort of help. Anyone interested should contact Roseanna.Ryan@StonyBrookMedicine.edu Please also think of people you know who are bilingual (particularly in Spanish) and who would be interested in pitching in, and please forward this message to them!

 

 

Stay well, stay strong, and stay in touch,

Mary Beth
