At The Swallowing Wellness Center, we offer a range of diagnostic services to adequately understand your swallow function. Our therapeutic approach is designed to improve your swallowing ability for better health and quality of life.
Clinical Services
Professional Education
We create bespoke education programs to address the training needs of healthcare professionals and their student communities who treat individuals with swallowing disorders. The Swallowing Wellness Center partners with the Swallowing Training & Education Portal to provide experiential learning programs and residency training based in real-world clinical environments.

Community Support
Swallowing is a daily function that can be taken for granted. Although 15 million people in the United States suffer from swallowing disorders, many do so in silence with little information, support or advocacy. Swallowing Wellness provides both clinical and community support to achieve our goal to improve lives, one swallow at a time.
“There is something profoundly satisfying about sharing a meal. Eating together, breaking bread together, is one of the oldest and most fundamentally unifying of human experiences.”
