Thank you to everyone who attended our National Speech-Language-Hearing Month BBQ on May 9. We loved spending time with our patients, families and friends while celebrating the importance of hearing and communication health.

One of the highlights of the event was sharing our caramelized shallot jam dip. So many of you asked for the recipe that we decided to include it in this newsletter. We hope you enjoy making it at home and sharing it with your own family and friends.

Thank you for being part of our community and for helping us raise awareness about the importance of hearing health. We look forward to seeing you at future events and continuing to support your hearing healthcare journey.
