PORTLAND, Ore. - s4story -- Linguava has appointed Matt Ducsik, MPH, as Chief Operating Officer. Ducsik joins the company after more than a decade at Providence, where he most recently served as Vice President of Clinical Institutes, overseeing operational initiatives for service lines across 51 hospitals and 1,000 clinics.

The hire comes as health systems face growing pressure to manage interpreter access more reliably across emergency departments, specialty care, and inpatient settings. At Linguava, Ducsik will oversee daily operations as the company expands its interpreting and translation services to additional health systems nationwide.

At Providence, Ducsik managed a portfolio representing approximately $14 billion in annual service line revenue and led systemwide initiatives across 51 hospitals and 1,00 clinics. At Linguava, he will focus on strengthening interpreter response times and operational support in high-acuity care settings.

"Matt has worked inside large health systems where delays, staffing constraints, and communication breakdowns affect patient care every day," said David Brackett, CEO of Linguava. "He understands the operational realities hospitals are managing because he's been responsible for them himself. That experience will help us work more effectively alongside health systems as they expand language access across clinical settings."

Ducsik said his decision to join Linguava was driven by the operational role language access plays in patient care.

"In a large health system, a communication breakdown is a clinical risk," Ducsik said. "Language services work best when they're integrated into the way care teams already operate. In settings like emergency medicine or specialty care, clinicians need to be able to connect quickly and communicate clearly without adding more complexity to the workflow."

Ducsik holds a Master of Public Health from Portland State University and serves on advisory boards focused on healthcare technology and AI. At Linguava, he will lead operational strategy, technology implementation, and network expansion efforts as the company continues growing beyond the Pacific Northwest.
