This is the third annual one-day seminar in medical interpreting. Healthcare providers, interpreters, hospital administrators and others will be present to discuss progress, best practices, and burning issues in the delivery of healthcare to limited-English-proficiency patients. DATE: Thursday, October 16, 2008 8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. LOCATION: Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital of NewYork-Presbyterian 166th Street and Broadway Participants would get a chance to hear some amazing speakers, including the CEO of NewYork-Presbyterian Dr. Herbert Pardes.
