Lights ⚡️ camera 🎥 action 🎬 This afternoon, our head and neck specialized SLPs Dave Zirlen and Arica Rusco (with special guest/graduate clinician Mary Malone) joined Quinn Dunlap, MD and Stephanie Pridemore, PA-C in producing educational videos for head and neck cancer patients. These videos will cover what to expect before, during, and after laryngectomy and wound care. Expanding patient access to quality, evidence based educational materials is crucial to improving patient preparedness and outcomes of procedures such as a total laryngectomy. Way to go, team!!!

For the third year in a row, our SLP Haley DeWitt had the opportunity to visit the Vocal Music students at to talk about what it means to be a voice-specialized SLP. Haley was a Vocal Music student at GSA in 2006 and a staff member in 2012 and 2014, so she loves being invited back. The students are always brimming with curiosity and have excellent questions. They enjoyed learning more about SLP voice evaluations and watching several scopes (which always elicits lots of interested sounds and comments). Thanks for the invite, GSA! We can’t wait to come back!

Are you aware of the ways rheumatological conditions can impact swallowing? For example, Sjögren Syndrome causes dry mouth, or xerostomia, which can make it harder to swallow.
