Our programs and interpreter service reach 14 counties in West Michigan, from Traverse City to Goshen, Indiana, and from St. Joseph to Lansing. There are over 200,000 individuals with hearing loss in the western part of the state, and as of 2010, we continuously serve approximately 3,000 to 4,000 per year through all of our programs, workshops and interpreter services.
Our programs include (but are not limited to):

Please visit each of our pages in the submenu. If you see a need for one of our services, please do not hesitate to contact DHHS. We accept walk-ins at some conditions, but appointments are encouraged if you want us to fully serve your need.
Library
We have a multimedia and book library at DHHS if you would like to check out books and videos on hearing loss, interpreting, deaf culture, and the like. The library is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
If you check out a book or video, please take it to the front desk and our administrative assistant will process it. You may borrow the item for two weeks then return it or a 50 cent fine is instilled daily until it’s returned.
