In doing so, it has placed special emphasis on maintaining access and enhancing care for vulnerable and diverse patients in the region who traditionally experience numerous barriers to health care. CHA has a robust interpreter services program, bilingual primary care providers, and numerous linguistic programs like the Haitian Mental Health Team (2010 Schwartz Center Compassionate Caregiver).
