Intermountain Health Opens First Spanish-Speaking Kidney Transplant Clinic in the Intermountain West
Intermountain Health has opened the Intermountain Health Clinica Hispana de Riñon at Intermountain Medical Center in Murray, Utah. The clinic offers culturally comprehensive care to Spanish-speaking patients undergoing kidney transplantation, addressing their cultural needs and educational styles in their native language. Patients receive education and evaluation by all providers in Spanish, including bilingual providers in nephrology, surgery, social work, coordinators, finance, and nutrition. The clinic aims to bridge the gap between the medical community and the Latino community, empowering patients to understand and participate fully in decisions about their care.
