Because of the government shutdown and Medicaid funding delays, Bristol Regional Speech and Hearing Center is facing an immediate need. Reimbursements for our critical speech and hearing services have slowed significantly—putting vulnerable children, individuals with disabilities, and local families at risk.

We cannot let this happen. Your donation today will bridge the gap and allow life-changing therapies to continue.

Every dollar helps us continue to provide communication services in our community!
