Spanish Phone Interpretation
Propio begins offering Spanish over-the-phone interpretation and signs its first four client contracts.
Propio combines interpretation, translation, and technology to help organizations communicate with multilingual audiences and meet language access requirements.
Everyone deserves to be understood. That belief has guided Propio since the beginning.
In 1998, founder Joe Fackrell stepped in as a Spanish interpreter during a prenatal appointment and saw firsthand how language barriers can affect access to care. That experience led to Propio’s first client and the start of a company focused on helping people communicate in the language they understand best.
Today, Propio supports thousands of organizations with interpretation, translation, and technology that help them manage language access more effectively. From healthcare systems and government agencies to insurers, schools, and businesses, clients rely on Propio to make communication clearer, faster, and more accessible.
Help people feel heard, supported, and understood.
We believe in genuine relationships and satisfying partnerships, which is why we approach every encounter with our clients’ perspectives in mind.
We are only as good as the professionals who represent us. We make sure to treat our interpreters well, and with the respect they deserve.
Creative problem solving, cutting-edge technology, strong processes, and outstanding execution help set us apart as the partner of choice
We provide value by identifying needs and finding effective ways to meet them, and we’re always on the lookout for opportunities to do just that.
