Welcome To The New HealthTranslations.com

The face of Missouri’s population is changing. According to the 2006 census, Missouri’s foreign-born population is nearly 194,000. Because many of these individuals do not speak English, language barriers can obstruct access to health care. Through this site from the Missouri Hospital Association, health care professionals in both metropolitan and rural communities can respond to the growing cultural diversity of Missouri’s patient population.
