Speech Therapy

The Speech Therapy department at BCHC provides a range of treatments for all ages of people in various settings. Our speech therapists are certified in many different treatment programs in the areas of speech-language, swallowing, voice and cognition. They provide individualized therapy in the outpatient, hospital, and home health settings. One thing that might suprise you about speech therapy is that they also work pateints who have dysphagia (swallowing difficulties). Speech therapy ensures that patients are able to reach their maximum potential to communicate and participate effectively in activities of daily life.
