Language Equity Symposium

Presented by the Center for Surgery and Public Health

Language barriers are a critical, yet often overlooked, dimension of achieving equity in health care experiences and outcomes. The 2025 Language Equity Symposium will offer researchers, administrators, policymakers, and hospital system leaders the opportunity to learn about pivotal research, policies, and initiatives aimed at improving language access within health systems.

Join us to connect with your peers, hear from experts, and learn about how we can build a more equitable healthcare system for patients with language access needs.
