University of Utah Hospital has Spanish -speaking interpreters on staff and additional resources are available to provide assistance for most languages. If you do not speak English or if you are deaf, hard og hearing, or sight impaired, and participate in a program or activity receiving federal funding such as CHIP, Medicaid, or Medicare, you have the right to a free interpreter. Please ask someone at the front desk. To contact Interpreter Services please call 801-585-0657. More information can be found here.
