LanguageLine is thrilled to announce a special edition of our ongoing Webinar Series, "Navigating Changes: Section 1557 of the ACA."
This upcoming webinar, scheduled for Wednesday, May 29 at 2:00 PM ET, will be led by Mara Youdelman, a leading legal expert in language access and civil rights issues. Mara serves as the Managing Attorney at the National Health Law Program’s Washington D.C. office and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the discussion.
During the session, Mara will explore the recent updates made to Section 1557. These changes are designed to enhance civil rights protections, particularly for individuals with limited English proficiency and those who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing. The webinar will cover how these updated regulations affect healthcare providers and organizations, ensuring that all participants understand the implications for their practices and the steps necessary for compliance.
