I’m looking for help translating a one-page form into Spanish, for a free health care event.

At the event, we will be distributing information and equipment so that people in need can monitor their health data and share it with their physicians. The program gives people BP cuffs, pulse oximeters, and other items as needed for free. There will be Spanish speakers there, but I need recipients to sign off that they were given items.

Here is the document in English, any help would be appreciated. I’d like the language to be as simple as possible to better serve recipients with little education (so they understand what they are signing). As you can see, the document was written by a free clinic with liability on their mind.

**Document**

I have received the items listed below to assist me to be more informed and active in my health care. The purpose of this self-management support is to aid and inspire patients to become better informed about their health conditions and take an active role in their treatment in coordination with their primary health care provider(s). I will use the below items to track my health care information and share it with my health care providers.

**Contact your doctor if you have any questions, or concerns about your health care. In the event of an emergency call 911, or go to the nearest emergency room.**

Items Received:

\_\_ Blood Pressure Cuff

\_\_ Pulse Oximeter

\_\_ Other (list items): \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

(Discalimer: translated first with [DeepL.com](http://DeepL.com) and corrected/improved personally. Where the original reads “if you have any questions, or concerns” I have translated “if you have any questions, **doubts** , or concerns” because it seemed more like what you probably want to say, at least I would suggest so. If you want absolute fidelity to the original delete “ **, duda** ” in my translation)

Awesome, I told my office I’d have a translation before lunch and the SDMB delivered. Thank you.
