The Marion Downs Centeris recognized worldwide for its leadership, progressive innovations and
cutting edge clinical service. Its mission is to value and promote individual and family choice in

Now, these two organizations have combined their efforts into the new Marion Downs Center, a
"Center of Excellence" with a combined vision to serve our community with the highest level of

I feel like RISE played a crucial role in my education as an Audiology and Speech- Language Science major. It was hands on and taught me more about interacting with children than any of my classes did. I also feel close to the RISE staff, they were nurturing and served as mentors to me. I am proud of working with RISE and I recommend it to anyone interested in working with children.
