Bari Grohler of Virginia Beach, was named the winner of Beltone’s Northeast Regional Excellence Award.

The award, presented to Ms. Grohler at Beltone’s National Meeting in Las Vegas, Nev., honors dedicated individuals who consistently provide a high level of patient hearing care within their communities.

“It is an honor to recognize Bari Grohler for her exceptional hearing care practice,” said Beltone President Todd Murray. “She truly exemplifies what it means to enhance patient loyalty through her commitment to provide excellent patient care.”

Grohler opened her first Beltone office in July 2001, and during the years, this practice has helped more than 5,000 people hear better. She currently has three full-time and three part-time offices located throughout Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth and Suffolk.

Grohler’s grandparents worked for Beltone in the 1950s, and her mother, Lynn Ledford, has been with Beltone for 55 years. Collectively, the family has won numerous Beltone awards, including the prestigious President’s Cup.

“As a third-generation Beltone provider, I am thrilled to receive the Regional Excellence Award and appreciate that Beltone recognizes the value we place in our customers and the integrity of our practice,” Grohler said. “I am committed to providing our patients with an experience that is trustworthy, professional and caring.”
