Community Connections

Al Sigl Center

Since 1967, the Al Sigl Center Partnership has provided us with over a million dollars in capitol funds, significant reductions on our insurance and telephone costs, improved our human resource services, and expanded the breadth of our inservice offerings. All of these together have allowed us to improve working conditions, maintain needed benefits for our staff, and to increase our ability to carry out our mission.

United Way of Greater Rochester

United Way funding support enables us to provide critical hearing, speech and language services to segments of the community that are in need and under-served. Funding also allows us to provide services on-site in nursing homes and via our mobile unit to individuals who otherwise would not have readily available access to audiology services.

Rochester Community Daycare and Headstart Programs

For 35 years, RHSC's DayCare Speech and Language Program has contracted with local city daycare, nursery and preschool programs to identify children with communication problems, support families in getting needed services and enhance the overall quality of caregiver involvement and verbal interaction with children.

Early Literacy Program

Our role as the lead organization in implementing the Early Literacy Project (ELP) in the Rochester community allows us to train parents and early childhood providers on techniques that can enrich their young children's literacy. The techniques are based on the most current research on early literacy, brain development, child development and adult learning.

Reaching Out for Better Hearing

Reaching Out For Better Hearing is comprised of RHSC, the Hearing Loss Association of America, Lifespan, and the Monroe County Office of the Aging. The program's focus since its inception in 1983, has been to increase awareness and access to hearing services/solutions for older adults participating in senior center programs.
