In July, 1998 a vocational program for disabled persons in eastern Iowa was added to our service array and in October, 1999 further Bridgeway expansion in Iowa occured with the official transfer of services previously provided by River Center. These human service corporations, having served west-central Illinois and eastern Iowa for decades, have joined together to continue to meet the ever-growing needs and challenges of providing community-based health and human services.
