The Sally J. Pimentel Deaf & Hard of Hearing Center is a not-for-profit organization and United Way partner agency that provides interpreting services, ASL sign language classes, deaf mentoring and advocacy, adaptive equipment for the hard of hearing, community education, and outreach presentations. Our mission is to empower Southwest Florida’s deaf and hard of hearing citizens and their families through education, advocacy, and community involvement.

A child’s eyes glance up and see a lifetime of comfort and compassion. Conversation and companionship between people who still see the sunrise as the sunset approaches. The Dr. Piper Center for Social Services and the seniors who provide its heartbeat strive each day to make a difference in the lives of children, seniors, and their community.

The Dr. Piper Center for Social Services, Inc. seeks to enhance the social and economic well-being of those 55 and older individuals who reside in Southwest Florida and make a positive impact in the lives of frail elderly, at-risk youth, special needs children, and our communities.

We see hope each day and we want the community to see it with us. At the Dr. Piper Center, our eyes, hearts, and minds are focused on empowerment and improving the quality of life in our community. We see children embracing life like never before. We see seniors joining together for a common good. We see a community reaching out to us for our knowledge and our love. We see a better community because of us.
