There's a wide array of tools to enable communication with patients who speak different languages and implementing them can improve patient outcomes. Read more here.
"A review by the Wellesley Institute found that providing trained interpreters improved health outcomes and increased preventative care.
There are several ways to provide this service, and your practice will probably want to offer a mix of options. On-site interpreting and video remote interpreting (VRI) both offer face-to-face interaction for improved communication, allowing both the patient and interpreter to respond to important non-verbal cues like facial expressions and body language."

Check out the recommendations the AAP has made for pediatricians.
"Build climate change counseling into clinical practice. Assess climate risks and recommend climate solutions when screening for and addressing social determinants of health such as energy, food, and housing security. For example, encourage active modes of transport or promote consumption of plant-based proteins to reduce carbon emissions."
