"It may sound odd to call your Speech Pathologist your friend but that’s
how I feel about Ron. I know my condition is challenging but I truly trust him to do what is best for my swallowing problem. When he arrives I know that I don’t feel like just another patient.”
- Jeremy W., Home Health Patient
