Communication disorders are among the most common conditions in children and adults, affecting tens of millions of people in the United States alone. Left untreated, these disorders can negatively impact a person’s academic, social, and career success—as well as their overall quality of life.
With early treatment, many communication disorders can be reversed or even prevented. However, treatment at any age or any stage can make a positive impact.
We are pleased to recognize May as Better Hearing and Speech Month. We salute the audiologists and speech-language pathologists in our community who dedicate themselves every day to improving the lives of their clients, patients, and students.
Let’s also recognize the needs of those among us who have hearing, speech, language, and swallowing disorders—and do all that we can to ensure that they have access to the services of audiologists and speech-language pathologists who can help them communicate effectively and swallow safely.

NRMC Earns 5-Star Rating

Nevada Regional Medical Center recently earned a 5-star quality rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the highest rating a hospital can achieve. The overall star rating is based on 48 quality measures in five different categories. To earn a 5-star rating, NRMC met or exceeded the national benchmark in all 5 categories, which include: mortality, safety of care, readmission, patient experience, and timely and effective care.

“We are most pleased with the recent news that NRMC has been designated a 5-Star Hospital,” says Jason Anglin, NRMC's Chief Executive Officer. “This has certainly been a team effort, as everyone has pulled together to consistently provide our patients with excellent care and quality services. Nationwide, only about 14% of hospitals achieve a 5-Star Rating.”

Nevada Regional Medical Center believes that their continued commitment to "Caring with P.R.I.D.E." (Professionalism, Responsibility, Integrity, Dedication, and Excellence) has helped them earn this prestigious 5-star rating.

Whether they’re helping someone recover from surgery, strengthen their body or prepare for a return to work, the professionals at Performance Therapy consistently receive numerous compliments.
