The Health Care Interpreter Network
www.hcin.org 
The Health Care Interpreter Network (HCIN) is a cooperative of California hospitals and health care providers sharing trained healthcare interpreters through an automated video/voice call center system. Videoconferencing devices and all forms of telephones throughout each hospital connect within seconds to an interpreter on the HCIN system, either at their own hospital or one of their colleague hospitals. Participating hospitals have agreed to exchange language services with each other at a rate of $.75 per minute. When a language is not available from an interpreter at one of the HCIN hospitals, the call connects automatically to a contracted telephonic language provider. American Sign Language (ASL) is available 24 x 7 on the HCIN system, at a contracted per-minute rate.
