Abstract
The proportion of family physicians reporting provision of patient care in Spanish changed little between 2013 to 2020 but rose substantially for care delivered in other non-English languages. Physician-patient language concordance is associated with better clinical outcomes and higher patient satisfaction, serves as a proxy indicator for workforce diversity, and should be monitored and encouraged as the US population continues to diversify.
