In their Own Words
CLICK HERE to read what one family says about this Agency.
The Speech Department of Memorial Hospital of Union County exists to provide both habilitation
and rehabilitation of people with hearing, speech, language, and swallowing difficulties. Maybe it’s a child
who isn’t talking or a spouse having trouble speaking after a stroke. Maybe a friend needs help selecting a hearing
aid. The professional staff include speech/language pathologists and audiologists who work with clients who may
have communications disorders. From children born with developmental disabilities to a person recovering from a
stroke, Speech, Language, and Hearing is here to help.
