Community Engagement
We listen, connect, and build relationships with deaf communities to make services better for everyone.
Join our community
Too often, decisions about deaf health are made without deaf people at the table – and research, care, and programs are built without their input. Backed by decades of community trust, we elevate lived experiences and community perspectives to make programs, services, and decisions more inclusive, effective, and trusted.
