Midsouth Community Center Services
for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing
MCCSDHH is the midsouth’s leader in helping deaf and hard of hearing individuals, families and communities be safe, independent, and empowered.
Our mission is to design and deliver quality human services that improve the quality of life and leadership in the midsouth deaf and hard of hearing communities.
Many midsouth Deaf and Hard of Hearing are unaware of or do not have access to community agencies and organizations that provide services related to the needs of Deaf and Hard of Hearing.
Agencies, services, and community members are often uninformed about the needs of Deaf and Hard of Hearing; and services to the Deaf and Hard of Hearing are not always coordinated in such a manner as to maximize their benefits.
The Midsouth Community Center Services for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing was formed as a response to concern for the midsouth Deaf and Hard of Hearing.
