I am in awe of our interpreters in the state of Massachusetts who provide the Deaf and hard of hearing community equal communication access through your skills, resources, and expertise. We at MCDHH truly want to show our appreciation for you, not only today but every day for your amazing support of our community. Thank you for all you do.
