Holiday Open House Success!

Thank you to everyone who made our Open House Holiday Reception a great success! We kicked off our capital campaign initiative to expand the treatment rooms at our Davis clinic.

Our Board Members, community partners, and guests had the opportunity to tour the facility and learn about our buildout plans for new treatment rooms.

In addition, our talented SLPs and Audiologists presented poster boards on key topics of interest related to their work such as the use of AAC devices, sensory toys and play in speech therapy, tinnitus, Usher Syndrome, and Otoscan technology for 3D ear scanning solutions and more!

By expanding our clinic space and services, we can treat an additional 525 patients yearly by hiring three new clinicians and providing the extra treatment rooms needed. Your continued support makes this vision a reality!?

Give & Go Tailgate Recap

A huge shoutout to everyone who attended our Jaguars Give & Go Tailgate on December 15th! We had an incredible turnout, and the energy was unmatched—especially with Captain Duval making an exciting appearance. Everyone had so much fun during the Cornhole Tournament and listening to the DJ from Micolucci Entertainment.

Special thanks to Nichols & Pina, LLLP for sponsoring this fantastic event and making it all possible!?

Thank you BDO Volunteers!

A heartfelt THANK YOU to BDO for celebrating Spirit Week with us at Jacksonville Speech & Hearing Center!

BDO Counts, an employee-driven social impact program, empowers professionals to contribute their time, talent, and resources to meaningful causes. We are beyond grateful to have been selected for a volunteer project by BDO, where our very own Board Chair, Jim White , is employed.

BDO volunteers brought holiday magic to life by decorating our clinic doors, providing crafts for children, mounting a funhouse mirror, and installing a “Caterpillar Sensory Activity Wall Panel." They also supported our Audiology team with vital administrative assistance in the lab.

Their dedication and creativity embody the spirit of giving, and their contributions will continue to bring smiles to our staff, patients, and families!
