Dr. Gardner Lectures Seniors
Harvey J. Gardner, Audiologist and Director, Huntington Hearing and Speech Center, recently lectured participants during a free hearing screening for seniors held at the Dolan Family Health Center. The screening was cosponsored by the hospital and the Huntington Hearing and Speech Center. More than 40 individuals had their hearing tested.
