Cochlear Celebration 2009

Celebration 2009 in beautiful Anaheim, CA was another Celebration event to remember. Cochlear Chief Scientist and first employee, Jim Patrick, talked about the history behind the development of the cochlear implant, how far the technology has come, and the potential for the future.

Special guest Kassie DePavia, star on daytime television's One Life to Live and a parent of bilateral cochlear implant recipient, shared her story and met with guests one on one at Celebration 2009. To read more about Kassie and her son J.Q., please visit Kassie’s website at www.kassiedepaiva.com.

Our Private Party at Disneyland’s Big Thunder Festival arena was a special night for all. We enjoyed dinner and dessert as we counted down to a beautiful firework display in the late evening.
