HealthReach is a national partnership that offers access to patient education materials in multiple languages, as well as helpful information for providers who offer services to individuals for whom English is not their native language. On the patient materials tab, users are able to search by topic, language, format, and authors. Providers are able to search by countries, populations, and authors. Materials for both audiences include audio, videos, and documents. Resources include: Health education materials in various languages and formats (brochures, fact sheets, videos) Provider tools (including best practices, cultural information, and effective use of interpreters) Special collections on Emergency and Disaster, Women’s Health, and Mental Health HealthReach provides free access to high quality, culturally relevant health information.
