Coronavirus/COVID-19 Updates

Page updated April 4, 10 a.m. ET

ASHA’s priority is the safety and well-being of ASHA members, volunteers, and staff. We continue to closely monitor evolving information about the coronavirus/COVID-19.

Members should continue to contact the Action Center (800-498-2071 or actioncenter@asha.org) and other staff as you normally would for routine questions around certification, dues renewal, membership issues, etc.

Stay tuned to this page—as well as ASHA’s Facebook and Twitter, ASHA Now and ASHA Headlines emails, and the Leader Live blog—for the latest updates.

ASHA's CEO Arlene Pietranton shares a message with ASHA members helping them find needed information and outlining upcoming ASHA resources.
