Mountain Region Speech and Hearing Center (MRSHC) is hosting our annual “Quacks & Beeps, Ducks & Jeeps” rubber duck fundraising event and Jeep Fest on August 17th, 2024 at 5pm at the Kingsport Farmer's Market. We will have 5,000 lucky duck chances of possibly winning one of several prizes available for the public to purchase. The rubber ducks will be dropped into a trailer bed and 10 winners will be drawn randomly. The Grand Prize is $2,500! We would greatly appreciate a gift certificates to include in our Pigeon Forge prize package.

MRSHC is a not-for-profit agency founded in 1974. The ability to communicate directly affects a person’s quality of life. It is our mission to provide the infants, children and adults of the Appalachian Region with the highest quality and cost effective evaluation, treatment and education for speech, language, hearing and swallowing disorders. We provide these services regardless of an individual’s ability to pay.

MRSHC had over 19,000 patient encounters in 2023. We have given over $130,000 in scholarship dollars over the past 5 years to patients in the Appalachian Region who may not have been able to receive treatment otherwise. We would not be able to offer these scholarships without the generous support of our local business community.
