About ILS  
ILS offers both oral interpreting and written translation services in order to help clients provide equal access to health care and other vital services for the Limited English Proficient (LEP) community. Since its inception, ILS has hired, trained, mentored and continually evaluated hundreds of interpreters who each day serve hospitals and businesses by interpreting for patients and clients with limited English skills. These highly-trained interpreters provide a valuable communication link between patients seeking medical care and their healthcare providers as well as other businesses and their LEP clients.

The story of ILS is industry-leading quality and professional standards. ILS started out in 2000 as the backup agency for its first clients. As health care providers gained experience with the professionalism of ILS interpreters, they began to request only ILS-trained interpreters for their appointments. Over time, ILS has become the dominant provider in the Midwest and is currently expanding to additional markets.
