On this day in 2007, Breakthrough Developmental Services was founded. The last 13 years has been great and we have met many wonderful people. Thank you to each patient who believed in the services we provide and thank you to each staff member who has worked with us. I know this isn’t the way we planned on celebrating and we will have to plan something else when it is safe. I just wanted to take a moment to recognize the occasion.

Please stay safe and have a wonderful day,
