Dear Friends,<br />
This year’s Annual Report reflects CHC’s year in pictures. It’s a tribute<br />
to the skill and dedication of our staff in New York and Florida. I’m<br />
immensely proud of their work and pleased to put them center stage.<br />
Over the past year, CHC clinicians addressed the diverse health needs<br />
of more than 10,000 people affected by hearing loss, deafness and<br />
listening challenges. Total client visits with our audiologists, speech-language<br />
pathologists, education specialists, psychotherapists and social workers<br />
exceeded 25,000. The expertise and compassion of CHC staff was surpassed<br />
only by their commitment to ensuring each person with hearing loss has<br />
the opportunity to achieve his or her potential.<br />
In CHC’s 106th year, we continued to grow and offer new clinical services<br />
to better meet the needs of the community we serve. We expanded<br />
emotional health and wellness offerings for children and increased hearing<br />
health care outreach to seniors. With support from individuals, foundations<br />
and corporations, we were able to fulfill our mission while providing care to<br />
all those who sought our services. Importantly, we remain judicious in how<br />
we allocate resources. Last year, 82% of all revenue was applied<br />
directly to clinical programs.<br />
With the continued support of our donors and the<br />
unwavering dedication of our staff, expect CHC<br />
to positively impact even more lives in the<br />
upcoming year, in ways that redefine the<br />
hearing health industry.<br />
Mission<br />
The Center for Hearing and<br />
Communication provides lifeaffirming<br />
hearing health care<br />
to over 20,000 annually. We<br />
are committed to improving<br />
the quality of life for children<br />
and adults with all degrees of<br />
hearing loss and listening and<br />
auditory challenges.<br />
Thank you for being part of the<br />
CHC community.<br />
