SERTOMA's primary service project is assisting the more than 50 million American people with speech, hearing and language disorders.
Georgetown SERTOMA is dedicated to helping the people in Williamson County by providing resources for testing, treatment and equipment to help with hearing disorders. We have partnerships with Lone Star Circle of Care, Georgetown Healthcare System, Georgetown GISD, Local doctors and with UT Speech and Hearing.
SERTOMA started a program called SHARP (Sertoma Hearing Aid Recycling Program) We have hearing aid recycle boxes located at the public library, the Wesleyan, Sun City and many other places. If you have a hearing aid that can be recycled, contact SERTOMA and we will make sure that it is donated to someone in need.
SERTOMA recently donated an Audiometer to the Lone Star Circle of Care in order for doctors to diagnose hearing disorders along with sponsoring children and adults who are in need of treatment or hearing equipment. Equipment was also provided to the Georgetown Health Care System to screen newborns for hearing disorders.

On December 19, the Georgetown and Round Rock Sertoma Clubs presented checks for $5,000 each to officials at the Lone Star Circle of Care. This money will be used to furnish two Ero-Scans, devices used to screen hearing for clients at the clinics. The two Sertoma Clubs have combined efforts to provide a total of three Ero-Scan devices, the third one to be funded early next year. |
Participants left to right: Mark Welch, CFO Lone Star Circle of Care; Jim Wilson, Speech & Hearing Director for Georgetown Sertoma; Ron Heine, Georgetown Sertoma President; Pete Perialas, CEO Lone Star Circle of Care; Ann Shove, Round Rock Sertoma President. Sertoma Clubs nationwide have a common mission of assisting those with speech and hearing difficulties. |
