DC HAPP 2009: Closing Ceremony
"I Speak" commercial from La Clinica

In 2007, the ISCOPES La Clinica del Pueblo team created a Public Service Announcement to increase awareness of the "I Speak" card – a card that patients with limited English proficiency can use to request a translator when seeking healthcare. The commercial aired for one year in the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Region.
