CAMP HILL – The PA Department of Labor & Industry celebrated the 40th anniversary of its Office for the Deaf & Hard of Hearing at its annual Hearing Loss Expo at the Penn Harris Hotel in Cumberland County. The event brought together advocates, service providers, and community members, and highlighted efforts to expand opportunity and access for deaf, hard of hearing, and deaf-blind Pennsylvanians. The Office for the Deaf & Hard of Hearing helps Pennsylvanians with hearing loss through advocacy, information, and referrals. PA Labor & Industry Secretary, Nancy Walker said for 40 years, the office has helped Pennsylvanians access services, navigate challenges, and find support in systems that have not always been built with accessibility in mind. We are continuing to invest in the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation because access to opportunity matters. Every Pennsylvanian deserves the support to pursue independence, participate fully in their community, and build a future defined by possibility.
