Exceptional Communities Program

Innovative Approaches

Exceptional Communities Program

We help families in Henderson County who have special healthcare needs.  We work with parents, schools, doctors, and other local groups to make life better for families with special needs.

What we do:

  • Find and fix problems in the system
  • Families help  make decisions
  • Families lead the way to help make improvements

What does it mean to fix problems in the system?

It means making big changes to how things work as a whole, not just fixing small problems. It’s about improving how things like schools, communities, health care or companies are connected so things get better over time. Instead of just fixing one problem, we look at the bigger picture and work to change the rules and structures that affect everything
