WARREN CENTER RECEIVES $2,500 GRANT
FROM GANNETT FOUNDATION

The Warren Center for Communication & Learning audiology program is the recipient of a grant from the Gannett Foundation, which owns television station WLBZ 2 here in Bangor.

The grant is in support of the Warren Center’s Be a Hearing Aide program, which began in 2003. A check presentation was held in late December at WLBZ’s studios in Bangor.

An increased need for hearing-related services made it necessary for the Warren Center to expand the capacity of its audiology program. An additional audiology booth gives the Warren Center the ability to see more clients in a timely manner, and also reach into the community to promote hearing health and protection through screenings and educational outreach programs. Last year, over 1,100 individuals received audiology services at the center.

“We appreciate the generosity of the Gannett Foundation,” says Mary Poulin, administrative director of the Warren Center. “This grant will make a difference in the lives of the Warren Center’s clients.”

The Warren Center for Communication & Learning is Bangor’s oldest not-for-profit professional speech and hearing center. The Warren Center provides evaluations, therapies and technologies in the areas of speech, language development and hearing to the children and adults of Eastern and Central Maine.
