From January 1, 2021 to July 1, 2021, the KEX Kids Fund helped 23 children with comprehensive hearing exams in 8 counties. We partnered with 13 audiology providers.
Because of covid and schools not completely reopened, there had been a decline of requests. During the past few months, we started to see more requests for help with hearing care. The number of requests will increase in the fall as schools return to in person instruction and school nurses are able to refer more students.
School nurses work closely with the KEX Kids Fund and the Oregon Lions Sight & Hearing Foundation (OLSHF) to ensure that children who are referred for vision & hearing care receive resources.
School nurses are grateful for the resources provided by the KEX Kids Fund. This program helps children hear and learn to their potential.
Here is a short video clip of KEX Kids Fund Director Paul Linnman on Afternoon Live (KATU) describing how the partnership with OLSHF benefits young lives.
