Better Hearing and Speech Month
May is Better Hearing and Speech Month, with the theme of “Building Connections.” The vision of the American Speech-Language Hearing Association is “making effective communication a human right, accessible and achievable for all.”
Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital patients are served by 5 inpatient speech language pathologists (SLPs), and we have 2 SLPs who service our Neuroscience and Spine Center. All of our SLPs provide excellent care in the assessment and treatment of speech, language, cognitive-communication issues, and swallowing disorders.
Our SLPs are an important part of our rehabilitation team. We celebrate you and thank you for your commitment to HMSL and to our patients and families.
