Wouldn't it be nice to picture the world filled with health and happiness? Hello, I'm Dr. C. Edward Koop. As Surgeon General of the United States, my job is to promote the health of the people of our nation. Like many of the 24 million Americans with hearing and speech problems, my friend Timmy and I can be helped. Taking care of our hearing and speech is more than child's play, right Timmy? This message is from the Council for a Better Hearing and Speech Month.
