Patient Spotlights: Stories of Growth and Communication Wins

Written By Jody Vaynshtok

At Sound Speech & Hearing Clinic, we believe every patient has a story worth telling. This May, in honor of National Speech-Language-Hearing Month, we’re celebrating our favorite storytellers, the patients themselves. Our Patient Spotlights shine a light on the our determined, and inspiring patients who work hard each week to grow their communication skills.

From first words to fluent sentences, from initial diagnoses to discharge days, we’re privileged to walk alongside patients at every stage of their journey. To the patients and families who’ve given us permission to share their journeys, thank you. It’s an honor to celebrate you.

Keep an eye out for this month’s spotlights on our Instagram. We can’t wait for you to see why we believe so strongly in the power of communication.
