About John Tracy Clinic > Mission and Symbol
Mission
John Tracy Clinic provides, worldwide and without charge, parent-centered services to young children with a hearing loss offering families hope, guidance and encouragement.
Symbol
The Yucca was chosen as the symbol for John Tracy Clinic because it blooms with great beauty in difficult conditions, as do the parents and students who attend our Clinic. Like sturdy yucca plants, deaf children eventually “blossom.” They are able to share all of their talents and gifts with the world through a foundation of communication and listening skills developed during their early years.
