On Advocacy... "DHHS helped me get my money back when I didn't like the hearing aids that I had been sold. I couldn't have done it without them."

On Advocacy..."DHHS has been an incredible resource to the Martin County government in the development of our closed captioning of our public meetings on MCTV. Our public employees have received on-going training on TDD's and 711 Relay to enhance more effective communications with the citizens in our areas. We can always rely on the DHHS staff!!"

On the Children's Hearing Aid Fund... "We all have benefitted so much from Cassidy's hearing aids. She had been wearing aids since she was 6 weeks old and they just weren't working as they should. She was given a new pair at 3 years old from DHHS. What a great gift for her to be able to hear again. Thank you DHHS and the United Way.

On the Phones on Loan Program... "The phone rang the day I received it and through the force of habit I picked up my old phone and could hardly hear. Then I remembered! I ran to the new phone and what a difference. I couldn't believe it. Now when my kids call I don't have to say "What?" Thanks for the big improvement in my life."
