After Hours Interpreting Services
BridgesTN and BridgesWEST offer after hours interpreting services for emergencies. If you need an interpreter for a medical, legal, or mental health emergency after hours or on weekends, please call 615.244.0979 for BridgesTN or 901.701.8911 for BridgesWEST.
Our interpreting fees go straight back into FREE programs and services for our D/deaf, Deaf-Blind, and Hard of Hearing communities. When you hire our highly-qualified interpreters, you don't just create access for that assignment. You also make an investment in our community--the community that leads us--that helps us do so much more. Thank you!

All of the interpreters who work with us go through a rigorous skills assessment and ongoing professional development.
