Community leaders joined Savannah Speech & Hearing Center board leadership, volunteers, and staff members at the official ribbon cutting.   A special dedication was given to the Hammond Family of Savannah for their many years of support to the center by naming the audiology portion of the center “ The Hammond Center for Hearing Health.”  The new conference room was dedicated to Anne Kolman Smith, who is the current board chair, a long time volunteer, and building committee lead for the project. Smith was also honored at the event as the Center’s “Volunteer of the Year.”
