Oticon’s Mission to Xanthia Departs This Summer
Oticon kicked off its Mission to Xanthia Expedition at the Foundation booth at AudiologyNOW!® 2010 in San Diego. The mission team, lead by Jackie Clark, PhD from UT Dallas, will provide hearing health care to the underserved populations in the Vredefort Dome area of South Africa. In addition to providing hearing aids and supplies for the trip, Oticon will send two humanitarian audiologists to Africa to work on the mission team. Jamie Shumaker and Julie Verhoff were chosen from among hundreds of audiologists who had submitted entry forms for the drawing held at the Foundation booth on April 17. Friends of the Foundation will be able to track the progress of the mission as Jamie and Julie provide dispatches from South Africa on the Team Xanthia blog. Follow the expedition here!
