We teach children who are deaf or hard of hearing to talk and we teach others to do it, too.The Moog Center provides a supportive and stimulating learning environment for children who are deaf or hard of hearing and their families. From the time we begin working with children and their families, our program focuses on helping the children learn to use spoken language well enough for that to be their means of communicating. Our emphasis on very young children underlines our belief in capitalizing on the critical learning period for language, namely birth to early elementary years.

In addition to free pregnancy tests and limited obstetrical ultrasounds, WRC provides accurate information about a woman's 3 choices when faced with an unexpected pregnancy: parenting, adoption or abortion, empowering clients to make the best choice, based upon facts not fears, for themselves and for their child. Material assistance (mom & baby supplies) prenatal and parenting curricula are also available free of charge to clients, as well as abortion recovery, miscarriage and grief and loss support groups.

In 2018 (most recent numbers available), HCCH cared for 19,059 unique patients resulting in almost 50,000 encounters throughout our multiple health programs. Over 4,300 of the patients we cared for were experiencing homelessness; over 92% were living at or below 100% of the poverty level; and over 74% had no form of health coverage.
