Canopy covers your health system’s unique language access needs
26 million people in the United States have limited English proficiency (LEP) and the number is growing. Not only are mobile and in-person interpreter services not sufficient to cover the language access needs of health systems, but a lack of innovation has left many feeling compelled to throw limited language access dollars into more interpreter minutes.
Spend less, invest and innovate more
Empowered by research and development supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Canopy is reimagining the language access problem and delivering proven solutions.
Rather than treating language access as a sunk cost-center, Canopy believes that the investment in our innovative technological solutions and professional development for your team will result in long-term, sustainable, solutions that meet the unique challenges of your health system.
Introducing Canopy360 for Hospitals and Health Systems
A single, fully-integrated platform to cover all of your health system’s language access needs.
Our team's research has found that the language barrier in healthcare is driven by eight core determinants. Canopy360 solves all of them with each product to the right.

Empower your staff to demonstrate their bilingual skills and provide a roadmap for your team to improve
CanopyCredential is the only scenario-based medical proficiency assessment that was specifically designed to align with ACA Section 1557. Employing a simulated oral proficiency interview (SOPI) approach and developed by a team of linguists and psychometricians, CanopyCredential enables clinicians to demonstrate that they can effectively, accurately, and impartially communicate in a non-English language through spoken language skills and in real-life patient scenarios.
Scaling the Proficiency Ladder
CanopyCredential provides meaningful feedback for exam-takers, giving them the scaffolding to climb the proficiency scale for continuous improvement. Even if someone has not achieved qualified bilingual staff (QBS) status, the CanopyCredential Scorecard offers a nuanced breakdown of their proficiency in the form of ‘can do’ statements so that they are mindful of their strengths and limitations when interacting with patients with limited English proficiency.
