Thanks to your generosity, Potomac River Clinic continues to close critical gaps in early hearing care for babies in Washington, DC. Hearing loss is a low-incidence, high-impact condition, and timely diagnosis impacts lifelong outcomes.
With your support, we remain one of the few centers in the region offering unsedated Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) testing for newborns who do not pass their initial hearing screening, including infants covered by Medicaid and those without insurance. Our specialized team keeps wait times minimal, just eight days on average, compared with the months-long waits families often face elsewhere in the District.
We are excited to share that we recently received grant funding to help expand this vital work, increasing access to timely, accurate testing and early intervention for every child who needs it. This important support brings us closer to our goal, but continued generosity from donors like you is essential to meet the need.
Your commitment, combined with funding from our foundation partners, ensures that every infant, regardless of family income or insurance status, can receive life-changing care from the Potomac River Clinic. Together, we are giving more children the chance to develop language, learn, and thrive.
Thank you for making this impact possible!
