Central Florida Speech & Hearing Center has been awarded the 2023 Empower Polk Grant. Empower Polk is an annual competitive grant program of the GiveWell Community Foundation with the goal of empowering local nonprofit organizations to become more efficient and sustainable. This grant supports implementation of a new patient management system, allowing the Center to provide enhanced tools to our patients and team members. This grant will also allow CFSHC to lessen paper costs and streamline many reporting and billing processes.
As the Center continues to expand services, efficiency has been a great focus. Tremendous growth in the Center’s patient population has prompted more organization, practices and innovative ways to deliver patient care. In addition, processes that streamline our clinicians’ ability to connect with their patients is critical. With this grant, the Center will be able to uniquely communicate with patients using direct text messaging, email confirmations, reminders and more.
Central Florida Speech & Hearing Center serves as a beacon for those struggling to communicate and we are thrilled that the GiveWell Community Foundation has joined on our mission to provide adults and children with the quality care they need to communicate effectively.
