Interpreters are paid a small stipend to be on-call for medical, mental health and legal emergencies Monday – Friday 5 pm – 8:45 am and 24/7 on weekends and holidays. MCDHH has an AHE Coordinator who does referral for emergency communication access requests Monday - Friday 2pm - 10pm, and contracts with an after-hours answering service to deploy the interpreters who have signed up for emergency shifts overnight, on weekends and holidays.
During regular business hours, our CART and Interpreter Referral Team will handle any and all emergency requests made to MCDHH.
