Downtown South Bend recently hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of Michiana Speech Lab.
Rebecca Shultz and Annalisa Layman, co-owners and co-founders of Michiana Speech Lab, have worked together for seven years. They previously worked in large health care systems. Shultz and Layman saw how patients were limited by insurance stipulations, experienced extended wait times to start therapy and overpaid for services.
Shultz and Layman founded Michiana Speech Lab to provide patients with quick and easy scheduling. The lab is intentionally out-of-network with insurance to avoid limitations. Michiana Speech Lab also offers customized speech therapy sessions.
“Your voice will always be heard,” said Shultz in a press release.
Downtown South Bend and officials from the city of South Bend were onsite for the ribbon cutting. Michiana Speech Lab offered short tours of the office after the ceremony.
Michiana Speech Lab serves adolescents and adults in the Michiana community. It assesses, educates and works to improve skills related to cognition, speech, language and swallowing. Michiana Speech Lab is at 227 S. Main Street in South Bend.
