If you want accurate information on childhood and other vaccinations and whether or not your loved one needs them, contact a trusted physician! There are a lot of conflicting opinions out there. What you decide is critical to the health of your family!

Do you know one of our DSP’s? A DSP is a Direct Support Professional. They are the heart and essence of our work here at In-Pact. Our DSP’s bring diverse talents, backgrounds and experiences to their work with In-Pact clients. What they share in common is excellent training, good work records and a positive attitude toward their work with those they serve. Our DSP’s range in age from 18 to 60’s and come from all over our service area. Without them, our services and their quality would suffer greatly. From every person involved with In-Pact over our 45 years, we say THANK YOU to our wonderful DSP’s!! If you are involved in In-Pact in any way, and you know someone who works as one of our In-Pact DSP’s, please add your thanks during this DSP Appreciation Week!
