Do you have a family story you can share?

From H&V National ...

Rylin and David Rodgers were shocked at how quickly medical debt changed their lives. "Most people assume that a family like ours, because we have two college-educated parents, would have the resources they need to take care of their family’s medical conditions." (excerpt from http://hdwg.org/catalyst/stories/2)

Many families of children who are deaf or hard of hearing face financial challenges in getting medical and intervention needs met. It is important that policy makers hear these stories to help them understand the need for adequate insurance coverage and other financing supports so our children can grow up to reach their potential. It’s important that other families hear these stories so they know they are not alone.

Do you have an experience you’d like to share? If so, contact Diane Behl from the National Center for Hearing Assessment and Management (NCHAM) at diane.behl@usu.edu or 435-797-1224. Diane will help you get your story heard.
