About Us

Our Mission

The Center for Communication Disorders (CCD) opened in 2018 with the mission of providing Speech-Language Pathology services to members of the community, particularly the underserved and uninsured.

About the Clinic

The CCD is unique, in that our services are completely free. This allows us to provide services to clients who have a medical necessity, regardless of their ability to pay.

We serve clients of all ages and provide a broad range of services for people who have suffered a stroke, traumatic brain injury, neurological disease, head and neck cancer, and various other etiologies resulting in impaired communication, cognition, and swallowing. We pride ourselves on providing thorough, client-focused care to meet the highest expectations of our clients, their families, and their physicians. We are committed to providing these services in a safe and inclusive environment without regard to economic status, race, religion, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation. Most importantly, we want to help those in our local community find their voice.

The CCD is operational due to the help of generous donors and the Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions (RMUoHP) Foundation. The RMUoHP Foundation was established in 2009 with the mission to advance the quality and accessibility of healthcare. The Foundation, therefore, supports the University’s pro-bono healthcare clinics, including the Center for Communication Disorders.

The clinic staff is comprised of licensed clinicians and students from the Master of Medical Speech-Language Pathology (MS MedSLP) program at Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions. Our clinicians hail from some of the top institutions in the country and form a team of experts dedicated to outstanding clinical practice.
