The Toronto Central LHIN (Local Health Integration Networks) launched ‘Language Services Toronto’ on October 1st. Non-English speaking patients may now be able to communicate with physicians, nurses, and other professionals through real-time phone interpretation, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Studies show that newcomers and others who have difficulty communicating in English stay in hospital longer, visit the emergency room more often, have avoidable health complications, and are more likely to be readmitted after a hospital stay.
