LOUISVILLE, KY (March 16th<\/sup>, 2020)\n\u2013 <\/strong>Heuser Hearing Institute is proud to announce\nthat Cheryl Donaldson has been named an honoree of the 2020 Health Care Heroes\nAwards by Louisville Business First.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Health Care\nHeroes Awards was started in 2017 by Louisville Business First to recognize\nthose who have made an impact on health care in our community through their\nconcern for patients, research and inventions, management skills, innovative\nprograms for employees and service to the poor and uninsured. Health care jobs\nmake up nearly 10% of employment in the Louisville Metro Statistical Area, and\nin general those professions pay far more than the area’s median wage. The\nawards are broken into six categories: Community Outreach, Health Entrepreneur,\nInnovator, Manager, Patient Experience and Provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheryl has been the Director of Early\nIntervention & Speech Services at Heuser Hearing Institute for 33 years.\nCheryl\u2019s nomination into the awards for \u201cPatient Experience\u201d is an exciting\nhonor for the entire Heuser Hearing Institute and exemplifies the Institute\u2019s\nculture and advocacy for our patients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am truly humbled to be recognized as 2020 Health Care Hero\nby Louisville Business First. The work I\u2019ve been able to do over 33 years at\nHeuser Hearing Institute has been a labor of love and reflects the wonderful\n\u201cvillage\u201d of people at Heuser who are dedicated to improving listening and\ncommunication skills in our youngest children with hearing loss and their\nfamilies. Thanks to today\u2019s emphasis on early identification, early\namplification and early intervention, plus the amazing technology that is\navailable to provide access to sounds and speech, these children can learn to\nlisten and talk and be educated alongside their typical peers. It has been\nexciting to partner with the children and their families and watch them grow!\u201d\nsaid Ms. Donaldson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
