Helping People Help Themselves

What We Believe

That people with disabilities should, to the fullest extent possible, be integrated members of the community, having access to all its services as well as sharing in the responsibilities of being a community member.

That all people with whom Mineral Springs Center comes in contact should be treated with dignity and respect whether that person is a client, a relative or guardian of a client, a staff member, a representative of another agency,

etc.

clients.

In conducting on-going internal and external evaluations of our operations and staff in order to make continuous quality improvements in both our service delivery system and our organizational management.

In having an array of service options to meet the various needs and choices of our

clients.

the-art competencies for our staff.
