At CommunityHealth, we rely on generous volunteer interpreters to make sure our Spanish-speaking patients have the opportunity to communicate successfully with their care providers.
Spanish interpreters should be fluent in both Spanish and English, and will have the unique opportunity to assist medical providers and patients in the exam room, for a variety of appointment types, including primary care, dental, and over 20 specialties.
Volunteers commit to at least two four-hour shifts per month for at least one year, with the option to do more. Training on medical vocabulary is provided, but basic fluency is a must!
In addition to our main location in West Town, CommunityHealth operates three microsite locations. To bring care closer to home, we opened small-scale clinics within community organizations local to our patients. Microsite locations listed below:
CommunityHealth at Onward House- Belmont Cragin: 5413 W. Diversey Ave., Chicago, IL 60639
CommunityHealth at Enlace- Little Village: 2759 S. Harding Ave., Chicago, IL 60623
CommunityHealth at The Resurrection Project- Back of the Yards: 4600 S. Wood St., Chicago, IL 60609
