We’re Making It Easier to Support a Healthier Community
Picture a world where every child has the chance to say their first words clearly. Where every adult can enjoy the laughter of loved ones. Where people of all ages feel connected and engaged through the power of healthier hearing.
At Delaware Speech and Hearing Center (DSHC)*, we believe in communication for a lifetime and strive to make a world of better hearing possible every day. With the launch of our new Giving Back page, we’re inviting you to help elevate our community’s health today, tomorrow, and beyond.
Learn how easy it is to donate to DSHC and why your contribution makes a difference.
What’s the Exciting News About the Giving Back Page?
Community support helps make our critical work possible, so it’s crucial to make donating easy, efficient, and hassle-free. Our Giving Back page aims to do just that, and we’re thrilled to share it with you.
Most important, our new page offers multiple ways to make an impact. Everyone gives differently, and now all your options are in one convenient place, whether you prefer a one-time contribution online, a corporate sponsorship, planned giving, or a donation of supplies.
Make a one-time gift through our secure online donation platform. It’s quick, easy, and always available, so you can give whenever the moment feels right. This new page is designed to make supporting speech and hearing care simple, flexible, and accessible anytime.
Support DSHC’s $100,000 campaign to upgrade equipment, improve clinical spaces, and maintain access to care. Selected rooms from therapy gyms to hearing aid labs are available for naming opportunities, offering personalized recognition while helping provide key services to the most vulnerable.
Opportunities like our Walk for Communication bring awareness of DSHC’s mission and raise much-needed funds. Register for this year’s event now, or get more details on how you can support the walk through individual donations and corporate sponsorships.
Bequests, beneficiary designations, appreciated assets, and charitable gift annuities help ensure long-term access to speech and hearing care. Including DSHC in your estate plan creates a legacy of communication, connection, and support for individuals across all stages of life.
You can also support DSHC in meaningful ways such as mailing a check or donating supplies through our Amazon Wish List. The supplies are a big help in our audiology, occupational therapy, and speech therapy clinics.
Why Support Delaware Speech and Hearing Center?
Every day, people of all ages struggle with speech and hearing challenges that can limit learning, lead to isolation, and impact the ability to thrive. Hearing loss affects 1 out of 8 Americans aged 12 and older, and speech and language disorders are also a common challenge.
But access to care isn’t guaranteed. Families are burdened by high costs, limited insurance coverage, or a lack of local services. Without timely intervention, communication problems can have lasting effects on academic success, employment, and quality of life.
Delaware Speech and Hearing Center is working to turn the tide every day, changing lives through comprehensive care. In 2024 alone, we provided $322,763 in charitable uncompensated care, ensuring folks in our community have access to vital services regardless of their financial situation.
Your support helps children say their first words, adults reconnect through hearing technology, and families communicate more fully. It funds therapy tools, upgraded diagnostic equipment, and programs that reach those who might otherwise go without care.
Whether you give now or through your estate, your generosity helps people of all ages overcome communication challenges. Your support expands access to vital speech and hearing services, creating a more connected, resilient future for neighbors and families across Delaware County.
