Speech Therapy

Heartland Regional Medical Center offers a number of speech therapy services with a wide variety of techniques and programs designed to help people communicate better. We consider treatment a collaboration: therapy staff works with physicians, dietitians and nurses to evaluate patients’ swallowing function and recommend safe feeding tactics when needed.

Heartland Regional Medical Center’s Speech Language Pathologists assess, treat and help prevent problems with speech, language, cognition, communication, voice, fluency and swallowing. Therapy staff provides collaborative care by working with physicians, dietitians and nurses to evaluate patients’ swallowing function and recommend safe feeding tactics when needed.

  • Fluency Disorders (stuttering)
