What is the better way of supporting good cause with great food? Now you've a chance to enjoy delicious Malaysian food and support PALS for Health!
Malaysian cuisine reflects its rich history and the diversity of its people. The eclectic dishes of rices, noodles, meats, seafood, vegetables and desserts are livened by Chinese, Malay, Indian, and Thai spices, with a tinge of Dutch and Portuguese influences.
PALS for Health was established in 1993, it is the language service program of Special Service for Groups (SSG) 1952, a non-profit United Way agency that provides innovative services to diverse ethnic minority and disenfranchised communities. SSG created PALS for Health specifically to increase access to meaningful and quality health care services for limited English proficient residents of Los Angeles County.
Considered by many as a pioneer in health care interpretation and translation services, PALS for Health has devoted over 17 years to the development and refinement of effective tools designed to promote linguistically and culturally appropriate communication. Its various projects, which include interpretation, translation, language proficiency testing, health care interpreter training, HIV/AIDS interpreter training, health care translator training, provider and community education, and advocacy complement each other to paint a complete picture of language needs of our communities and strengthen the program’s capacity to offer a comprehensive spectrum of services.
As a language consultant with PALS, I know how important its services are. I enjoy working with my clients from all kind of backgrounds.
OK, how can you help?
