Happy 72nd Birthday to us!๐Ÿฅณ

Sunday, we celebrated 72 years of service! UCP Heartland was founded in 1953 by a group of concerned parents and volunteers, who wanted to provide a higher quality of life for family members and friends living with disabilities.

Did you know that 1,543,928 adults in Missouri have a disability. This is equal to 31% or 1 in 4 adults in Missouri. (CDC)

We are committed to providing the support necessary for a successful, meaningful life to our clients, their families, and their surrounding community.
