    About Us

    The Marion Downs Centeris recognized worldwide for its leadership, progressive innovations and

    cutting edge clinical service. Its mission is to value and promote individual and family choice in

    treatment, technology, and communication options for individuals with hearing loss and their

    families. The Marion Downs Center has merged with the Center for Hearing, Speech and Language. For 96 years, the Center for Hearing, Speech and Language has had a remarkable presence in Colorado.

    Their extraordinary legacy was built through enriching peo- ple’s lives by providing innovative,

    caring and high-quality services for people with barriers to communication, regardless of financial

    status.

    Now, these two organizations have combined their efforts into the new Marion Downs Center, a

    "Center of Excellence" with a combined vision to serve our community with the highest level of

    service, support and education.

    Our Purpose: To provide resources, services and education to meet the needs of individuals who are

    deaf and hard of hearing or communicatively challenged, their families and the professionals who

    work with them.

    Our Vision: To serve as a unique organization providing outstanding and innovative service, education and support to fill a growing need locally and globally.
