North Cascade Cardiology

Translator Service

Patients are advised, whenever possible, to bring a friend or relative to translate during office visits or procedures. North Cascade Cardiology scheduling personnel also work with Northwest Regional Council and Language Exchange to arrange for translator services for our patients who need them. In addition, several of our clinical staff members are fluent in Spanish and Russian.

"We have been working closely with the cardiologists at North Cascade Cardiology since early 2004. They have always been responsive to our requests for care for our client referrals. On occasion, they have, in an emergency situation, seen our clients within 24 hours.

Four of our clients, who were unable to get timely care in Canada, received life-saving care from North Cascade Cardiology, and are only alive today because of their decision to leave the Canadian healthcare system and get their procedure in Bellingham.

We have observed, over the years, that North Cascade Cardiology is less concerned about the revenue derived from treating our clients, as they are about ensuring positive outcomes. Indeed, on one memorable occasion, they were able to work out a creative and affordable solution for a client of ours from the prairies, whose resources were very limited.

We consider the folks at North Cascade Cardiology to be amongst our most irreplaceable resources."
