Community Health Improvement Program for Intellectual Disabilities

Our team recently had the chance to attend the Trisomy 21 Research Society Conference in Denver, Colorado! It was an incredible few days spent learning alongside researchers, clinicians, industry leaders, families, and advocacy organizations who are all working to improve the future of Down syndrome research.

A big thank you to everyone who shared their knowledge and experiences. We're looking forward to what's ahead!

Before the World Cup excitement began, we kicked things off with our own soccer celebration to welcome summer! Thank you to everyone who joined us for a fun-filled afternoon. Everyone had the chance to show off their soccer skills, get creative with crafts, and cool down with a sweet treat. We loved celebrating together and appreciate everyone who helped make the event such a success! ⚽☀️🍦
