The right care in the right language

At the Montreal Children’s Hospital (MCH), we pride ourselves on serving you in the language of your choice, in English or in French.

As the MCH is a teaching hospital, some of our international students may not yet be fluent in this language. Should this be the case, they will be able to point this out to you and seek the appropriate resources.

Don’t hesitate to let our staff know your preferred language. They’ll make sure you’re served in that language.

For those who don’t speak English or French, language and cultural interpretation services are available in the various clinics and units, in the emergency department, and by telephone. Interpreters are available around the clock to help staff communicate effectively with patients and families in over 300 languages and dialects. All there is to do is let the care team know that an interpreter is needed.
