Are Coming Together!
Exciting news! We’re pleased to announce that as of August 1, NorthPointe is joining the Aspire family! Aspire is another leading agency serving people with developmental disabilities based in Hillside, Illinois.
The similarity in our shared vision of inclusion for people with disabilities within our larger communities is remarkable. By coming together, and with your continued support, we aim to be one of the most recognized and respected disability service providers across the Chicago metropolitan area, Lake County (Illinois), and southeastern Wisconsin.
We believe joining forces will put us in the best possible position to build on our founders’ legacies, and grow our mission of building more inclusive communities that welcome people of all abilities. We plan to achieve this by:
· Providing innovative, quality services and solutions for the people we serve.
