The mission of United Cerebral Palsy of Central Pennsylvania, Inc., a 501 (c)( 3), non-profit charitable organization, is to assist infants, children, youth, and adults, with disabilities, and their families, achieve their goals of development, growth, independence, and full citizenship.
For over 60 years, UCP Central PA (UCP) has been meeting the needs of individuals of all ages with all types of disabilities and special needs, from pediatric to geriatric. While our name-United Cerebral Palsy--would seem to suggest otherwise, our consumers come to us with a wide range of conditions and diagnoses. The reality is this: the vast majority of the people we serve have a condition other than cerebral palsy.
Our Typical Consumers
* Individuals of any age who were born with a disability
* Individuals of any age who acquire a disability through accident, illness, or injury
* Individuals who find themselves aging into disability
From July 2016 to June 2017, UCP provided services and programs for nearly 3,600 children and adults. We’ve offered support to strengthen these families as well. Just as important, UCP offers hope... the hope of a life well-lived and without limits.
UCP currently provides both community and center-based programs and services in 17 Central Pennsylvania counties and operates from 44 facilities.
