The Greenville Sertoma Club

Our mission at Sertoma is to improve the quality of life today for those at risk or impacted by hearing loss through education and support.Why Hearing Health?Today over 50 million people in the United States alone suffer from some kind of hearing loss. With our technological life style, that number continues to grow. Once hearing loss occurs, it cannot be restored. We can imitate it with hearing devices, but it will never be as clear or concise as it once was. After hearing is lost it becomes one of the most expensive parts of life to maintain. Some insurance companies will pay for testing or will give discounts on equipment, but many will not pay a dime. Our passion is to create a world where everyone who chooses, can hear us. And our passion will compel us to raise awareness of our cause, educate those willing to understand, and support those who need our support. Hearing health needs allies and advocates, educators and healers. Sertoma communities share the common belief that attention paid to hearing health adds quality to lives and communities.About the Greenville Chapter:The Greenville Sertoma club was founded over 60 years ago and was the first chapter of the Palmetto State.  Our membership includes men and women in various professions--bankers, corporate executives, business owners, accountants, insurance agents, and lawyers.
