DHHS is the only organization on the Treasure Coast providing direct support services to the deaf and hard of hearing members of our community. There are 14 other Deaf and Hard of Hearing Service Providers across the state serving this targeted population. Each is an independent, privately owned, not-for-profit organization. We are all members of the Deaf Service Center Association of Florida. This membership requires that we provide certain core services, meet certain minimum operational requirements. This insures that DHHS is providing a satisfactory level of service to our target population.

Our mission, as a leader in community education and outreach, is to enable communication, advocate for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, and provide affordable amplification and assistive devices, all of which results in an improved quality of life, and the promotion of equal opportunities for all individuals in this unique population. The core values instilled in our provision of services include: fiscal responsibility, openness, and honesty; and being compassionate, vigilant, confidential, and proactive toward filling our client's needs.
