Accessibility Statement

We are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience. To do so, we are actively working with consultants to update the website by increasing its accessibility and usability by persons who use assistive technologies such as automated tools, keyboard-only navigation, and screen readers.

We are working to have the website conform to the relevant standards of the Section 508 Web Accessibility Standards developed by the United States Access Board, as well as the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1. These standards and guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. We believe that conformance with these standards and guidelines will help make the website more user friendly for all people.

Our efforts are ongoing. While we strive to have the website adhere to these guidelines and standards, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the website. If, at any time, you have specific questions or concerns about the accessibility of any particular webpage, please contact WebsiteAccess@tenethealth.com so that we may be of assistance.

Thank you. We hope you enjoy using our website.

Everyone should have a voice

Some conditions can leave you without full control over your voice and speech, and it can be jarring to you as a person. After all, being able to communicate is fundamental to being able to live life how you want it. At Palmetto, we understand the difficulties you face when you lose your communication skills, and our team will work with you to get it back.

Some of the things we treat:

  • Speech issues, such as slurring, mutism, and aphasia
  • Stuttering
  • Voice problems resulting from cancer of the throat
  • Disorders relating to written language
  • Memory disorders

What does speech therapy entail?

Your therapy plan will be unique to you. However, some typical exercises may include:

  • Remembering stories
  • Helping to define problem spots, like bigger words, and how to deal with them
  • An understanding of gestures or body language
  • Trips outside the hospital for some real world practice
  • Exercises for the face and mouth (they look silly, but they work!)
