MONTEREY, Calif., Oct. 11, 2011 — Fred Moyle has been named vice president and general manager for healthcare markets at Language Line Services, the global leader in interpretation and translation services, the company announced today.
"Healthcare is one of our largest customer segments and has a growing need for interpretation services. Fred's deep healthcare industry expertise will help build even stronger ties to further support the industry's need to bridge the language gap with patients," said Louis F. Provenzano, Jr., President & CEO of Language Line Services, which fields millions of interpreter-request calls each year.
Moyle has served in the U.S. Air Force and several premier companies, including Bell Atlantic, GE Healthcare and most recently as executive director of healthcare solutions at Siemens Enterprise Communications. He will be responsible for the acquisition, account management, face-to-face Interpreting and market strategies teams.
Language Line Services created the over-the-phone interpreting industry almost 30 years ago and fields thousands of interpreting calls daily from healthcare providers, led by the majority of the top 50 U.S. healthcare organizations. Communication breakdowns are responsible for nearly 3,000 unexpected deaths and catastrophic injuries annually in the industry, often with limited-English speakers.
The company champions issues that are important to customers. That's reflected in both the independent Global Advisory Council (GAC) it helped form with other interpreting experts and the independent National Board of Certification for Medical Interpreters which it co-founded with the International Medical Interpreters Association (IMIA). The National Board has launched the nation's first national certification test for medical interpreters.
