Potomac River Clinic
Organizational Awardee

The Potomac River Clinic (PRC) has served individuals with hearing loss in the Washington, DC region for over 25 years. In 2023, PRC launched the Community Outreach Fund to provide free diagnostic Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) testing for infants. This initiative reflected the PRC’s broader mission to ensure equitable access to care, particularly for underserved families facing barriers such as cost, transportation, and language. Through its sustained commitment to both direct services and system-level solutions, PRC continues to model how a small, community-based organization can drive meaningful change in public health and improve the lives of children with hearing loss.
