As our Speech Therapist at Dignity Health-Yavapai Regional Medical Center , now part of CommonSpirit Health formed between Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI) and Dignity Health, you’ll increase our patients’ independence by helping them eat and drink safely, improve memory or cognitive issues, or communicate their needs and wishes more clearly.
No two days are the same here. Working with a team of dedicated physicians, therapists, and other health professionals, our outpatient Speech Therapists work to improve swallowing, articulation, memory, attention span, pragmatic language, impulse control, and more. Using various exercises and modalities, we work to get the patient as close to their prior levels of speech and cognition as possible.
