This can also include speeches at public conferences and events for HOPE, meetings, patient classes and training sessions, or individual communications for HOPE Family Health between two people or small groups of people.

- Record Interactions: The position is often required to document and record interactions and translations. Interactions must be recorded by entering those interactions into the electronic health record (EHR). This includes recording in-person interactions as well as phone conversations and possibly taking meeting minutes when applicable.
- Assist HOPE's Hispanic Outreach: The Medical Interpreter/Bilingual Navigator is to be the face of the organization to the patients of LEP, also including donors, volunteers, churches, businesses, and any other person or organization involved with HOPE's Hispanic outreach program.
