Quyana, Sean!

Quyana to Dr. Sean Smith, Audiologist, in the Audiology Department

“I want to send a special Quyana to Dr. Smith, our TDY Audiologist, for getting PocketTalkers for the docs to use with our patients throughout the hospital. I had a wonderful visit with an elder today that otherwise would have been very challenging, all thanks to this handy device! This is a VERY welcome contribution to our work environment. :)”
