Support this program
Most of the patients who visit the Adult Down Syndrome Center require longer-than-standard office visits. Most are insured by Medicare or Medicaid, which do not reimburse the full cost of the care provided. For these reasons, the Center operates at a significant loss. Charitable gifts enable patient to receive sensitive, specialized care that’s not available anywhere else in the Midwest.
