WHO WE ARE
The Center for Hearing & Speech is a St. Louis-based non-profit dedicated to helping anyone living with communication disorders, regardless of cost.
Our charitable programs provide hearing aids and speech-language therapy to children and adults as well as hearing and vision screening in area schools.
We exist to serve those with the highest level of need and the lowest ability to pay.
While our mission is to ensure low-income individuals receive these essential services, we offer the same high-quality care to every client of any income level.
We are a proud member of the United Way of Greater St. Louis, and rely on the generous support of private foundations, business partners and individual donors to continue our mission to help under-served populations in our region.
