The California Endowment (TCE): Many thanks go to TCE for its generous support this year (2005-2006) in funding creation of a business plan for CHIA, development of a comprehensive Skills Summary and Registry of Interpreters for the website, and creation of a stand-alone presentation on CHIA’s California Standards for Healthcare Interpreters for presentation at Chapter meetings and other venues.

The California Endowment is the state's largest health foundation and was established in May 1996. The Endowment has offices in Los Angeles, San Diego, Fresno, San Francisco and Sacramento, and has staff working throughout the state. Its mission is to expand access to affordable, quality health care for underserved individuals and communities, and to promote fundamental improvements in the health status of all Californians.
