What was started by a determined few, is now an organization serving over 375 individuals. One thing remains the same, the people we serve are at the heart of what we do.

This is an IMPORTANT DAY to weigh in. The American Health Care Act (AHCA) is gaining traction for a possible vote this week in the U.S. House of Representatives. Here's how you can still help!
On Thursday, March 23, the House of Representatives is going to vote on the Affordable Health Care Act of 2017 (AHCA), which would repeal the Affordable Care Act and include historic changes to Medicaid. We need you to tell Congress NOW that THIS BILL IS UNACCEPTABLE because as written, it could harm people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities by reducing how much Medicaid funding they receive.
As evidence of our substantial commitment to the health of people supported, EPI has been awarded the Gold Award for Health Leadership Excellence by Mainstay/My25.

There is no better way to celebrate the holidays than by giving to others. The feeling you get when watching someone open the perfect gift you found or knowing you gave a gift to someone who wouldn't normally receive one is heartwarming and hard to match.
As 2016 draws to a close, we remember all the experiences we have had. Whether these moments have been good, bad or in-between, 2016 was another year we were able to have these experiences, build relationships, and spend time doing the things we love.
It's hard to believe that 2016 is almost over and 2017 is just on the horizon. Next year is sure to be full of happiness, joy, and a lot of fun. More Than You See 2017 will be a night you don't want to miss full of all these things - March 31, 2017!
Join us in congratulating Chris Sparks, Executive Director, on celebrating 25 years with EPI!
