Our Mission:
To ensure equal access to services for limited-English proficient persons by providing highly skilled language and cultural aid.
Since 1998 MAMI (The Multicultural Association of Medical Interpreters) has been providing language and cultural access so speakers of limited English can fully participate in the community. To tune in our community; all of us including new arrivals need to: communicate with doctors, communicate with child’s teachers, sometimes tell our story to the police or have our day in court. MAMI has made this possible by offering interpreting and translation services, interpreter training, education for refugees and immigrants, provider training, and by participating in community collaborative projects.
