How does UAMS CHL manage Spanish health literacy services?
Our team of bilingual cultural experts works with each client to help the Spanish-speaking community gain access to quality health materials that are accurate and easy to understand and use. We have bilingual staff from diverse backgrounds who are trained in plain language and health literacy best practices to ensure that Spanish materials are not only accurately translated but culturally appropriate and meaningful for their readers.
Why choose UAMS CHL for Spanish health literacy services?
Our dedicated bilingual, native Spanish-speaking experts use validated tools and plain language best practices to assess and edit Spanish materials. We also maintain a database of Spanish speakers to engage in field testing sessions that are designed to focus on cultural relevance of each material being reviewed.

Customer Testimonial
“It is imperative for our Spanish-speaking community to have access to quality health materials that are accurate. We are fortunate to have the Spanish language health education materials that were developed by the UAMS Center for Health Literacy, and to use these materials often at our health window at the Consulate of Mexico. We know our community is getting health information they can use.”
