The STAR Center provides universal access to health resources. Assistive technologies and adaptive equipment are  available outside of a medical or physical therapy setting for community based independent or group exercise.  The STAR staff, in association with collaborative and programming partners provide disease- and disability-specific programming.  STAR programs provide clinical class experiences, preceptorships and internships  for university students. It is our future goal to provide and job training and employment opportunities for those with disabilities in the future.

After many years of planning, we are excited that the STAR Center facility will open in February 2025. Although not our original vision we feel that our community members  with disabilities cannot wait. Their health depends on it, they are in need of a facility that provides adaptive equipment and programs now. To best support the health of ALL community residents, the new center will be able to offer an expanded selection of specialized exercise programs, adaptive activity, para sports and inclusive recreation. Explore STAR Center programs opportunities that await you at the NEW STAR CENTER FACILITY.

Community impact

Closing the access gap enables existing community resources to be more effective and reduces budget strain for both public and private organizations. We can elevate quality of life for thousands of people with a dramatic effect on individuals health and decrease social cost.

When everyone has the resources to lead healthier lives, everyone benefits.
