Inglis Community Services
Introducing the Inglis Innovation Center - the new home of Inglis Community Services
(Closed Captioning, coming soon!)
During the last 140+ years, Inglis has developed relationships with individuals who have disabilities and built programs and services that enable them to overcome challenges and live life to the fullest. With advances in technology, medical care, and supportive services, more people than ever are choosing to live the lives they want, independently in the community.
For more than 50 years, Inglis has been supporting individuals with disabilities who live in the community. Now, Inglis will take the next step in providing comprehensive community-based services with the opening of the new Inglis Innovation Center. The Center will support individuals with disabilities living in the community to pursue wellness, community and social engagement, the use of adapted technology and more through innovative programs.
