Great video celebrating the role of SLT and what makes a good day, such a helping others with everyday things we take for granted, promoting social connections and supporting others to be able to advocate for themselves 😊

To celebrate Allied Health Professions (AHPs) Day today, we're sharing videos of some of our AHPs all week.

Our team, our local program partners, and every operational partner who helps make this program possible each month are heartbroken at the loss of our founder, Dolly Parton. (cont.)

Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.
Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).
A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.
At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at dollyparton.com
In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at imaginationlibrary.com

June is #AphasiaAwarenessMonth.
Aphasia affects a person’s ability to speak, understand, read or write, often after a stroke or brain injury. Speech and language therapists play a vital role in supporting communication and confidence.

Swallowing Awareness Day highlights how speech and language therapists assist individuals with eating and swallowing challenges (#dysphagia).
Eating, drinking & swallowing is usually effortless, but can present difficulties for some people

What you see on the surface is only part of the story. 💙💚
Stroke recovery goes so much deeper, with hidden challenges that often go unseen. From cognitive struggles to emotional battles. Let’s look beneath the surface this #WorldStrokeDay 🌊💙💚

ALT An image titled “The Hidden Depths of Stroke” shows a large iceberg floating in deep navy-blue water against a light blue sky. Above the water, visible effects of stroke include “use of mobility aids, physical weakness or paralysis, and difficulty with speech or communication.” Below the water, hidden challenges include “chronic pain, emotional changes, difficulty with attention and concentration, depression, fear of future strokes, sleep disturbances, isolation, fatigue, memory problems, loss of confidence, relationship strain, sensory impairments, and loss of independence.” The image represents the unseen depths of stroke recovery.
