Our Story
Five
Counties Children’s Centre was incorporated in 1972 through the local Rotary
Club and a group of parents of children with physical disabilities. The Centre
opened its treatment wing in 1975. Throughout its history, Five Counties has partnered
with families to achieve the best rehabilitation outcomes for children. This
family-centred approach to care ensures we can provide quality service in a
supportive environment.
Whether in
schools, in Centre, in the community or online, Five Counties is constantly striving
to improve and innovate in the way we deliver life-changing treatment for our
kids and families. Last year, we served the highest number of kids and clients
in our nearly 50-year history.
