This episode of the NAMS MedCast features a conversation with Mara Youdelman of the National Health Law Program (NHeLP). Mara is the Managing Director of Federal Advocacy at NHeLP and a national expert in language access, civil rights protections, and healthcare advocacy, with over two decades of experience. Mara's extensive work includes co-chairing The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights' Health Care Task Force and serving as a founding commissioner for the Certification Commission for Healthcare Interpreters (CCHI). She will also be the keynote speaker at the MOLA-NAMS conference in late October 2024!
The conversation opens with Mara's journey into health law and her passion for language access and health equity. We discuss how her work aligns with NAMS' mission to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate healthcare for Spanish-speaking patients. The episode also delves into NHeLP's work on language access, specific initiatives like the development of healthcare interpreter certification, and practical steps healthcare students and providers can take to ensure effective communication for patients.
Be sure to check out the links to Mara’s social media, NHeLP resources, and other related materials, and join us for the MOLA-NAMS conference in Chicago!
