MediSked is a longtime supporter and partner of The Arc and we are proud to support an organization that is dedicated to ensuring people with I/DD are valued members of their communities, with the opportunity to realize their full potential in a future that is secure.

The Arc recently released their New Strategic Framework for the Future, which is intended to be a guiding light for their work including advocacy, mobilization, public education, and the operation of their programs and services at the national, state, and local levels.
