Juhi Vora, Speech Language Pathologist

Updated August 25, 2026

Hi, I’m Juhi Vora, M.A., CCC-SLP (Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology)

Welcome! I’m excited to be part of this community and wanted to kick things off with a proper introduction.

I’m a Speech-Language Pathologist with over 10 years of experience in medical settings, currently working as an SLP IV at Valley Health–Warren Memorial Hospital in Front Royal, VA, where I split my time between acute care and outpatient services. My clinical focus is on adult dysphagia, neurogenic communication disorders, and voice disorders; the kind of work where you get to be part detective, part educator, and part cheerleader for your patients.

A bit about my path: I earned my Bachelor’s in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology from Topiwala National Medical College in Mumbai, India, then completed my Master’s in Speech-Language Pathology at Indiana University Bloomington. From there, I moved through home health, skilled nursing, and now acute care/outpatient hospital settings, which has given me a pretty full picture of how swallowing and communication disorders show up (and get managed) across the care continuum.

Some things I’m proud of and enjoy:

• I’m MBSImp certified and lead efforts to establish a fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) program within our hospital system, and conduct Modified Barium Swallow Studies with our radiology team.
• I supervise graduate students and Clinical Fellows, and I genuinely love that part of the job- there’s nothing like watching a new clinician find their clinical voice.
• I lead our Stroke Support Group in Front Royal and our system-wide Speech Pathology Collaborative.
• Outside of direct patient care, I’m active in research (dysphagia management, AI applications in our field, and home health job satisfaction)
• I serve on the editorial board for American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) journal Perspectives (SIG 2 and SIG 13), as President-Elect of the Speech-Language-Hearing Association of Virginia (SHAV), and on ASHA’s Council on Academic Accreditation (CAA).

What drew me to this field originally and what still keeps me in it: is the mix of hard science and deeply human connection. Helping someone regain the ability to safely eat a meal with their family, or find words again after a stroke, never stops feeling meaningful.

I’m looking forward to connecting with colleagues across disciplines here, sharing what I’ve learned, and hearing from all of you too. Feel free to reach out anytime!
