About

Our organization has sponsored the Scottish Rite Childhood Speech and Language Program at Marshall University’s Speech and Hearing Center since March 2002. In 2012, the program name was changed to the Lackey-Oshel RiteCare Clinic to honor the program founders, Ill. James H. Lackey 33° and Ill. H. Pat Oshel 33°.

The program provides a unique opportunity for children in the Tri-State to develop communication skills needed to succeed in life in a supportive, compassionate atmosphere. The mission of the program is to provide financial assistance for speech, language and hearing service provision for children. We rely on fundraising activities and donations to provide financial support for the program.
