Erin Ward | BAYADA 2023 ST National Hero of the Year

See the real-life impact of a speech therapist and why Erin was named BAYADA 2023 ST National Hero of the Year.

“Some therapists have a tendency, because you’re a certain age, they talk down to you. Erin never did that. From that moment on, we were friends, and then she was like family. And I wouldn’t be as far as I am now if it wasn’t for her.” — Mary Moran, BAYADA client

Colleagues say that Speech Therapist Erin Ward is an artist, born to do what she loves. With kindness, enthusiasm, and determination, she pushes seniors to recover functions that many others take for granted: the ability to swallow, to speak, to share a meal with friends. Regaining those everyday social interactions is nothing short of life changing—and for her client Mary featured here, it saved her life.
