New York hospitals must provide trained interpreters and hearing help to patients starting Dec. 10, 2025, to improve care equity and safety.
New York hospitals must now provide professional language and hearing assistance to patients, under a law effective December 10, 2025.
The law requires trained interpreters, prohibits using family members unless consented, and mandates staff training in culturally competent care.
Hospitals must document language needs and ensure clear communication, especially in emergencies.
Many facilities in the Capital Region already offer such services and plan to expand them in 2026.
The goal is to improve health equity and patient safety by ensuring all individuals can fully understand and participate in their care.
