Respecting Cultures
 

South West Health serves communities with diverse race, language and ethnic backgrounds. We strive to create a respectful environment that responds to the cultural, racial and spiritual needs of our patients and clients.

Non-English speaking patients/clients face linguistic and cultural barriers to care. Language barriers may also prevent health care providers from delivering appropriate health services to patients.

Whenever possible, South West Health will provide services in the patient/client’s language of choice using professional health interpreters.

 

Bonjour! Program

South West Health staff who choose to display  the "Bonjour!" symbol are proudly displaying  the fact that they can communicate and provide some services in French and in English. It is intended to help you find a French-speaking person more quickly when you use health services.
