In 2021, NKSD acquired DHHIRA which extended the area of servicing Kentucky throughout the Western region.

What differentiates us from other businesses is our ability to truly connect with our customers, and provide the exceptional, compassionate service they deserve. To learn more, simply browse through our site.

We Offer On-Site and  Video Remote Interpreting

Faced with our present challenges due to COVID-19, NKSD sought out a way to be able to continue offering quality services safely for everyone.

NKSD and DHHIRA now can schedule secured, HIPAA compliant virtual sessions.  

Whether you have a desktop, laptop, tablet or phone, the process is very simple.

​

NOTE:  Please keep in mind for most situations, this is a solution to our current state of affairs.  In the future, this may not be the best substitute to an on-site/in-person interpreter.  It is valuable to your clients and patients to be included in this decision.
