[Guest guest]

Dear Farmworker Health Colleagues,

Deb Norton of the NC Farmworker Health Program just shared this with

me and it seemed good information for all of us regarding telephone

interpretation services through Verizon. Please see below and thanks

to Deb for sharing!

Farmworker Health Services, Inc.

Verizon Wireless has contracted with Language Line Services to offer

Verizon Prepaid Interpretation Service. The medical practice

purchases a prepaid card, which provides on-demand access to " live,

professional, medically certified interpreters in over 170

languages " . The list does include Mixteco, and they state that they

will add languages based on customer needs (for those of us looking

for interpreters for indigenous languages). There are no contracts,

usage minimums, or monthly fees.

You can obtain more information or place an order at 1-888-323-1238.
