The staff of Evergreen Speech & Hearing Clinic would like to wish you a Thanksgiving filled with friends, family, laughter and great food! As a reminder, our offices will be closed today and tomorrow (27th and 28th) to celebrate the holiday.

Last night the National Stuttering Association (NSA) Puget Sound Chapters came together to volunteer at Food Lifeline in Shoreline. Our 19 volunteers packaged 16,120 pounds of squash in two hours! The food packaged will be distributed today to various food banks around Western Washington providing 12, 594 meals to those in hunger. Thank you to everyone who came out for this great event!

We are looking forward to being back at Food Lifeline on Saturday the 6th to help out with the holiday rush with our clinic!

Evergreen Speech & Hearing Clinic, along with the Eastside, Seattle, and Everett Stuttering Support Group chapters will come together this Wednesday to give back to the community. On Wednesday, November 19th the chapters will gather at Food Lifeline from 6-8pm to help package and prepare food for those in hunger.

Food Lifeline is a non-profit organization working to provide nutritious food to hungry people in Western Washington. Each year Food Lifeline distributes nearly 22 million pounds of food to its network of food banks, meal programs, and shelters in 17 counties of Western Washington, feeding nearly 600,000 hungry people. The chapters look forward to coming together to help make a difference during this holiday season, along with having the opportunity to meet with the other chapters.

Evergreen Speech & Hearing Clinic will also be hosting a Food Lifeline community service day on Saturday, December 6th for all staff, friends and family members.

This past Saturday, Doctors of Audiology Thomas Norwood, Melanie Duldulao, Trisha Ostermeier, and Audiology Assistant Gini Retka attended the 19th Annual National Video Conference put on by the Mayo Clinic in connection with the University of Washington. 

During the all day course, information was presented ranging from research to clinical practice. The topics presented put an emphasis on balance, cochlear implants, and joint care between audiologists and physicians.

The doctors came back enthused by the information collected, and are excited to put the newly learned practices into work. Our balance program will greatly benefit from the new techniques and best practices for assessment and treatment discussed over the weekend.

Join us for a 2-Day Special Event November 11th and 12th to try out the new DUAL Hearing System with a 2-Week No-Risk trial. Call in to schedule an appointment at any of our three offices on these two dates to experience the new technology that will open the door to a world of natural hearing.

If you have any questions on the event or Dual, please do not hesitate to call or email us. Space is limited for this event, so make sure to get in before it fills up!
