This AHRQ-funded brief describes emerging national efforts to ensure access to health care by patients with limited English proficiency, and profiles work in three leading states—California, Minnesota, and New York. The brief highlights challenges, successes, and implications for future policy and activities related to language services. The experiences of these states impart lessons to others looking to provide language services and ultimately improve health care for patients with limited English proficiency. http://www.ahrq.gov/populations/languageservicesbr.pdf.
