May is Better Hearing and Speech Month!
Communication is the essence to human life and today we would like to recognize our HaysMed Speech Language Pathologists, Jessica Feldt, MS, CCC-SLP and Carol Young, MA, CCC-SLP.
A Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) is a medically aligned field that requires an advanced degree such as a Master’s or Doctorate to practice.
