Our leadership team had the opportunity to attend Starling Missouri’s annual conference in Branson this week. It was a wonderful experience to network with other providers, attend educational breakout sessions, and connect with various vendors.

We are proud to partner with Starling Missouri and deeply appreciate their ongoing support and advocacy for our work and the individuals we serve.

It is with a heavy heart that we share that we have lost a very cherished member of our community. Richard was full of life and adored by so many. He had a unique ability to bring a smile to your face within seconds. He was truly one of a kind, and his presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Our Administration team will be attending his Celebration of Life this Monday, November 17th. As a result, our office will not open until 12:00 p.m. that day. However, our Day Program will be open with normal start time of 9am. Thank you.
