Translation Services You Can Access For Free
If you or your loved one do not speak English, do not worry.
The Waterloo Wellington Regional Cancer Program can support you during your visits by using a translator service.
This professional service is offered over the phone. A registered translator will help to translate your entire medical appointment, medical information, health care details and follow up plans.
Please ask your health care team member to set up this service.
Telling us about this in advance lets your health care team prepare for your appointment and make the best use of your time.
