RE: Free Speech Screenings
DATE: September 3, 2009


The Redwood Area Hospital will be offering Free Speech Screenings in September and October.

Do you have frequent hoarseness or laryngitis? Do you get pills or food stuck in the back of your throat when you try to swallow? Do you frequently cough or choke while eating or drinking? Do you frequently stutter? Have you been told people have a hard time understanding you? Is your child a problem or picky eater? If you answered yes to any of the previous questions, we may be able to help.

Free speech screenings will be offered by Joann Anderson, Speech Language Pathologist at the Redwood Area Hospital. Following each screening, Joann will recommend or suggest future treatment options based on the results of your screening.

Screenings only take 15 minutes and will be held on September 15, 22 and 24 from 3:00-5:00pm and October 1, 2009 from 9:00-11:00am at the Redwood Area Hospital, located at 100 Fallwood Road in Redwood Falls, MN.

If you would like more information or would like to schedule a free screening for you or a loved one, contact our Therapy Services Department at 507-637-4606.
