about things that matter in

To Our Partners, Donors and Friends,

The test of an organization is whether it has the ability to constantly manage change and the duration over which those changes will be realized. It’s a challenge that we at NorthPointe embrace because we recognize that there is a bigger picture, a longer time horizon, and a broader scope in which we operate. If our history and trajectory have taught us one thing, it’s that we have to think in terms of both today and tomorrow if we are going to be truly successful in serving people with disabilities.

Not-for-Profits do not operate in a vacuum—they operate under a mandate to serve society and fulfil their mission. For NorthPointe that requires that we deliver person-centered services, focused on community inclusion. From day-to-day operations to strategic decision-making, we are guided by these principles. Over the years, we have woven this focus into every aspect of our organization—and in doing so, strengthened the very fabric of NorthPointe.

Our ability to strive for innovation in what we do fuels our growth and allows us to stay ahead of the trends shaping our industry. It motivates our partners, positions our strategic plan and helps to deliver today and well into the future NorthPointe’s award-winning services. We’ll continue to be a leader in health initiatives and training for people with I/DD and expand our innovative services to meet changing needs.

We have achieved much so far. We recognize that there is a great amount of work to be done to meet the aggressive goals we’ve set for ourselves. NorthPointe has the capacity and the will to lead. NorthPointe’s talented staff is vital to our continued success and we recognize their contributions. In an environment of reduced funding, we will continue to do whatever we can to reflect how deeply they are appreciated.

We’re proud of each step we’re taking and the larger journey on which we’ve embarked. We remain steadfastly dedicated to creating opportunities for people with I/DD and mental illness. We will continue to work with our community partners toward common goals of community inclusion and making the world a better place for everyone. Together we will continue to fight for what is needed to transform lives. That’s Person Centered Services.
