Asian American Multilingual Health Service
Line/Interpretation (AAMHSLI) Program

The majority of Asian Americans are precluded from seeking prevention and intervention services because of many barriers and limitations.  This is attributed to a number of factors including lack of culturally and linguistically competent services, lack of awareness, cultural conflict, accessibility, income, unfamiliarity with the health care system, and most importantly, language barriers. 

To address some of these barriers to access, AAHI is working to develop the Asian American Multilingual Health Service Line/Interpretation (AAMHSLI) program to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate services and interventions to Asian Americans.

The program will seek to provide trained Asian American medical interpreters available at many community clinic sites and assist with navigation of health care access over the telephone hotline.  AAMHSLI program will initially be available in 5 Asian American languages.
