Language Access Services

Pyxis Partners is committed to advancing equity and inclusion in public health, clinical health research, and public policy. To advance this mission, we are excited to offer Language Access Services, ensuring that individuals with limited English proficiency (LEP) and/or individuals living with disabilities (e.g. people who are deaf and/or blind), have the ability to understand, engage, and advocate for critical services.

Our Language Access Services

Building an effective Language Access Plan requires expertise, strategy, and a deep understanding of community needs. Pyxis Partners provides comprehensive language solutions tailored to meet the needs of organizations interested in better serving their clients and strengthening their customer base.

1. Assess Resources

We help organizations assess their current language assistance needs, ensuring that services align with your organization's needs be it those of patients, research participants, or community members. This includes:

• Evaluating the organization’s existing resources.

• Identifying and addressing organizational gaps in programs, policies, and budgeting.

  
  

2. Adapt & Implement Services

We support organizations in adopting and adapting services to improve communication with individuals who have Limited English Proficiency (LEP) or disabilities. These services include:

• Translation Services: High-quality, culturally relevant translation of reports, toolkits, surveys, and community outreach materials.

• Interpretation Services: Professional interpretation for meetings, focus groups, advisory boards, and community discussions, available in multiple languages.

• Guidance on federal mandates informing this work.

  
  

3. Build Sustainable Infrastructure

To ensure long-term success, we help organizations build the necessary infrastructure to sustain language access initiatives. This involves:

• Staff training that enhances cultural and linguistic competence and supports organizations in developing sustainable language access strategies.

• Evaluation and monitoring plans to measure effectiveness.

  
  

Why Choose Us?

• Community-Centered Approach: We work closely with communities to ensure that language access solutions align with their needs.

Please note: While we provide language guidance and support, we do not operate as a professional translation or interpretation service. Instead, we help organizations assess their language needs, integrate language access into their work, and connect with appropriate resources when direct translation or interpretation is required.
