RiteCare Clinic at Marshall University
The Huntington Scottish Rite Foundation helps children access speech, language, and literacy services through its partnership with the Marshall University Speech and Hearing Center.
How it works
Clinical care from Marshall University.
Financial support from the Scottish Rite Foundation.
The Marshall University Speech and Hearing Center provides the clinical services, while the Huntington Scottish Rite Foundation helps reduce the financial barriers that may prevent children from receiving needed care.
Families do not need to have a connection to the Scottish Rite or Freemasonry to request information about assistance.

Financial Assistance for Children's Services
The Huntington Scottish Rite Foundation helps reduce financial barriers to speech, language, or literacy services for children through the Marshall University Speech and Hearing Center.
Depending on the family's circumstances and available funding, assistance may include:
No Speech Therapy Coverage
Coverage of eligible therapy session costs for children who do not have insurance coverage for speech therapy.
Denied Insurance Claims
Support when a child's insurance plan denies coverage for recommended speech therapy sessions.
High Deductibles
Deductible assistance for families facing substantial out-of-pocket costs because of a high insurance deductible.
Eligibility and the amount of assistance provided are determined individually based on the child's needs, insurance coverage, family circumstances, and available Foundation funding.
