Vision, Mission and Goals

VISION

Lewis speech-language pathologists will work hand in hand with families, educators, and health care providers to offer compassionate, holistic care to people with communication and swallowing disorders.  Upholding the dignity of all people, they will enhance their ability to dialogue, learn and work in association with one another.

MISSION

SLP students will dedicate themselves to the highest ethical and practice standards of the discipline of speech-language pathology.  They will distinguish themselves as transformative, culturally informed, and socially responsible clinicians.  They will advance the discipline by helping others understand the devastating impact of communication and swallowing disorders, identifying underserved populations, and forging new pathways to meet their needs.
