Linda White ClementsSpeech-Language Pathologist

Linda graduated from Marshall University in 1978 with a master’s degree in speech pathology.

“I hold a Certificate of Clinical Competence from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and am licensed in the state of Michigan to practice speech and language pathology,” she says.

She hasn’t always lived in Michigan, but moved from Cincinnati, Ohio to Coldwater, Michigan in 2006.

Linda says that while speech pathologists have the option to work in many different environments, she has enjoyed the experience of working in a hospital.

“I like the pace and challenge of working in the hospital setting,” Linda says. “I work with patients from birth to end of life.”

Speech pathologists deal with many different medical issues from speech production, language understanding and expression, voice disorders, stuttering, and more.

“Here at Promedica Coldwater, a large portion of my cases involve swallowing disorders resulting from stroke, brain injuries, Parkinson's disease, and cancers,” Linda says. For Linda, the patients always come first.
