100 Years
of Providing Unwavering Care
We are committed to the radical idea that unwavering care is something everyone deserves. For 100 years, it has been the lifeblood of our organization. We see daily the emotions and feelings that our care can awaken, and it is as unique as every soul we serve.
Over the past century, we have transformed into a comprehensive, multi-faceted, community- based human service organization. We have been nationally recognized for fostering independence through innovative programs, and for empowering children of all ages and their families. While our roots lie in foster care, adoption, and family preservation, we have evolved and continue to serve today’s needs through autism services, integrated health, and disability services.
Our future is grounded in our history of compassionate caring, and there is nothing more beautiful than the emotions we see every day created by the care provided by our team members.
Mission
