Some services are available in Spanish for those Latinos who are LEP (Low English Proficiency). Some Latinos speak English well enough to benefit from services provided in English. Except for Federal mandated programs which are restricted by income to permanent legal residents and US citizens and require a social security number, services are available to any one. WCHS have bilingual Spanish staff and Interpreters.Some progress have been made in the last 5 years, and there is a long way to go, yet , to have WCHS at full capacity for bilingual staff.

ALPES
ALPES (Alianza Latina Pro-Educacion en Salud) is an alliance made up of many Latino community leaders and WCHS employees who share an interest in promoting and improving the health and quality of life of Latinos in Wake County. ALPES has been meeting every 2nd Monday of the month for nearly 10 years and played a significant role in bringing the gang problem to the county's purview. ALPES has served to educate the Latino community on a variety of issues including, HIV/AIDS, DWI, legal and health issues surrounding prostitution, and pertinent information for new immigrants to name a few.
The membership of ALPES is composed of faith-based organizations, community-based organizations, academic institutions, hospitals, health organizations, local government entities, and community representatives (individuals interested in developing the ALPES goals and mission).
ALPES’ goals
To improve the health status and quality of life of Latinos in Wake County
To provide effective cultural and linguistic technical assistance, capacity building, advice, and support to community representatives and agencies
To promote networking opportunities among community partners, nonprofit organizations, and agencies for sharing information, resources, and potential funding opportunities
To provide advice for the development of community-based goals that can be used throughout Wake County to address health and quality-of-life disparities among the Latino community
To provide a forum for the development of lay-community leaders, through active participation in ALPES meetings and initiatives
