COVID & Language Access Issues
The National Health Law Program (NHeLP) wants to know whether information about COVID-19 services (e.g., testing, vaccines, treatment) is available to individuals with limited English proficiency (LEP).

If you are seeing problems, we would like your help. We will use the information you share as part of a request to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to provide strong guidance to state and local governments for ensuring effective language access for LEP individuals during the COVID pandemic.

DEADLINE: April 8, 2021
