Finding the right organizations with which to partner is crucial in any support service setting, and even more so in the pediatric world. FHSR has always placed the highest priority on its strategic partnerships, from Michael Reese Hospital to Northwestern University to the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago to the Chicago Hearing Society. For almost sixty years, the Foundation has sought out leading organizations on the forefront of addressing issues surrounding hearing loss. We continue to vet potential partners to help us support our mission and vision creating life changing social service programs and community outreach.
OUR HISTORY
We need your help to make this year our most successful year ever!
For over 65 years, FHSR has played a crucial role in supporting deaf and hard of hearing children and their families through unique, research-based programming, with a focus on education, music, and clinical services.
GET INVOLVED
We believe in the power of community. Therefore, the overarching goal of FHSR is to create connections for families in Illinois who have children with hearing loss. Members of the Board of Directors and Associate Board are highly involved in finding interesting and unique ways to bring this group together. From free family concerts to outings at local venues, social media and mentorship programs, our goal is to make sure no child with hearing loss feels isolated or alone. We work to find opportunities for kids of all ages to bond and create strong ties that provide support in their daily lives.
