The Cross Cultural Health Care Program (CCHCP) is a health and human services nonprofit based in Seattle, Washington, that has operated since 1992 with a focus on improving healthcare for communities facing linguistic and cultural barriers. It offers a suite of programs aimed at increasing equity and inclusion within health systems, including organizational assessments and specialized training for health and human services organizations. The organization provides medical interpreter training through Bridging the Gap, a multi-hour curriculum that prepares bilingual and bicultural individuals to work as interpreters across diverse care settings, and Connecting to Care, a patient guide curriculum that equips interpreters to help patients navigate the healthcare system. In addition to training, CCHCP conducts community-based qualitative research on healthcare experiences and barriers to access. The target audience comprises healthcare providers and organizations seeking to enhance cultural competence and improve patient outcomes, particularly for communities facing language and cultural obstacles. A recent update references ongoing activities in its effort to connect people to healthcare through education and assessment, reinforcing its role within the regional health ecosystem.
