Mrs. Cindy ONeal, serves as a LAUNCH Program Committee Member. Mrs. O’Neal, a Certified Speech-Language Pathologist, is a native of Davenport, Iowa. Mrs. O’Neal received her undergraduate training at Augustana College and then went on to receive her M.A. from Northern IL University. She has been in practice for over 20 years, serving the communicative and swallowing needs of patients across the entire lifespan. She currently works with the pediatric population in the outpatient setting, serving children ages 0-18, along with their families. Alongside her clinical pursuits, Mrs. O’Neal has a passion for educating the public about communication and swallowing health and mentoring adolescents.

Mrs. O’Neal’s hope is that through partnering with LAUNCH, children and young adults will be inspired by the contributions of health care professionals, and in turn feel empowered to pursue careers that match their passion with service to others.
