ACCESSIBILITY- 24HR ON CALL FEATURE
An outstanding feature of our program is the Emergency feature or On-call system aimed at making our staff readily and easily accessible to our service recipients, 24-hour around the clock. This system assures, as well as ensures timely intervention in times of crises. The Dubois-Douglas center firmly believes that disabled individuals, with appropriate interventions, have the potential of becoming useful and productive citizens in any environment in which they choose to reside. AT the Dubois-Douglas centers, our goal is to make that possible. Such is our noble cause, such is our pledge, and even more importantly, such is the nature of our calling!!!
