The Stormont Vail Health Emporia Clinic is reinforcing its commitment to accessible, patient‑centered care by reminding patients of bilingual services available to serve the growing Spanish‑speaking community in the Emporia and Lyon County area.

Patients who prefer to communicate in Spanish can access support throughout their care experience, helping ensure clear communication, increased comfort, and better overall health outcomes. The clinic’s bilingual team members and language assistance resources are available to support patients during appointments, registration, care coordination, and follow‑up needs.

“Quality healthcare starts with clear communication,” said Dr. J. Samuel Tovar, a Spanish speaking provider at the Emporia Clinic. “By offering bilingual services at our Emporia location, we’re removing language barriers and making it easier for patients and families to feel informed, respected, and confident in their care.”

Spanish‑speaking services at the Emporia Clinic include:

• Bilingual staff available to assist patients in Spanish
• Interpretation support when needed throughout the visit
• Help with understanding medical information, appointments, and follow‑up care
•  

These services reflect the clinic’s ongoing efforts to meet patients where they are and provide welcoming, inclusive care for the entire community.

Patients are encouraged to request Spanish‑speaking assistance when scheduling appointments or look for a team member with a “Yo Puedo Ayudar” badge at the clinic.
