St. Thomas Community Health Center Adds Spanish Language Function to Website

St. Thomas Community Health Center (CHC) announced the addition of a Spanish language function to its new website, making requesting appointments from any device, and understanding the scope of services offered at their five sites across New Orleans easy for all users.

The Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) launched their significantly upgraded website in April, and recently rolled out the Spanish language function. Patients who speak Spanish as their first language can switch the website over to Spanish with one simple click.

According to the United States Census Bureau’s 2016 population estimates, the Hispanic population in New Orleans grew by 7,103 in 2016. As of July 2016, there were 111,289 Hispanics in the metro area, representing 8.8 percent of the metro population. Central to St. Thomas Community Health Center’s mission is working to overcome cultural divides that may create health disparities, ensuring that all families receive equal access to healthcare, regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay.

Spanish-speaking personnel are available at each St. Thomas Community Health Center location in Uptown, Central City, Gentilly, and on the West Bank to ensure all appointments are as pleasant as possible.
