SWOP homepageLetter to Journal Editors Published
The Journal asked the question last week in an editorial: Who should Provide Hospital Interpreters? The editorial was in response to a lawsuit filed by the NM Center on Law and Poverty and the ACLU on behalf of local community groups, including SWOP.
To me the answer was simple. The hospital.
Everyone in our community deserves the best possible health care.
Today a letter to the editor was printed in response to the Journal's editorial, signed by myself on behalf of SWOP, Kim Posich of NM Center on Law and Poverty and Keith Franklin of the Albuquerque Metro Native American Coalition.
The following links are from coverage of the lawsuit brought by local community groups:
