CLINICAL & COMMUNITY OUTREACH
We believe in the power of community. Therefore the overarching goal of FHSR is to create a community for families in Illinois who have children with hearing loss. Both the Board of Directors and the Associate Board are highly involved in finding interesting and unique ways to bring this group together. From free family concerts to outings at local venues, social media and mentorship programs, our goal is to make sure no child with hearing loss feels isolated or alone. We work to find opportunities for kids of all ages to bond and create strong ties that provide support in their daily lives.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE
As important as it is for these kids to have a community, it is equally important for families to find other like situated parents and caregivers. Parent’s insight and experiences are crucial to keeping the conversation going. By joining our community we will work together to create awareness around issues of pediatric hearing loss and support our kids in their journeys.
