Enhancing EHDI Readiness in Arizona: Strategies for Pediatricians

This initiative aims to improve the Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) readiness among pediatricians in Arizona. Led by Brad Golner and a team of healthcare professionals, the project focuses on reducing loss to follow-up and increasing awareness of JCIH recommendations. By providing education, tailored resources, and local trainings, the team helps practices integrate EHDI strategies effectively. Results include enhanced competency among providers and increased visibility for AzEHDI, highlighting the need for ongoing commitment to connect providers with community resources.
