BREAKING DOWN LANGUAGE BARRIERS

Empowering self care by immigrant patients with information we can hear and
understand.

Immigrant patients can hear relevant care information in languages and dialects
that they can easily understand.

Curated patient education materials can be shared across national boundaries for
speakers of the same language.

Patients are empowered to better communicate about their diseases even if their
doctors do not speak their languages.

OUR STORY


HEAR2CARE

As an Asian American cancer patient advocate, Dr. Zhang raised concerns on the
scarce voices of immigrants in the US health equity discussion as an invited
panelist at NCI's President's Cancer Panel's discussion on tech-enabled patient
navigation.

Interviews with doctors and patients identified unresolved language issues to
deliver care to immigrant patients: more than 46 million foreign-born people in
US speaks many different native languages and dialects that may hinder our
access to care, as 21 million immigrants speak English less than "very well" in
2022.

Building on our personal experiences and access to global health resources, we
launched this initiative to produce education materials that can be heard and
understood.

We will start with languages and dialects spoken by more numerous immigrant
groups (Vietnamese, Hindi, Tagalog, Dravidian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin,
Cantonese, Fuchow, Hokkien, French, Portuguese, Russian, Thai, Burmese) and
expand to other languages as identified by the ACS data from US census published
in 2015.

Let us work together to breakdown the language barriers for better care！
