Day Services
St. Vincent New Hope Day Services is an activity-based program serving adults who have intellectual and physical disabilities. Our mission is to provide meaningful days to the individuals we serve by developing their personal areas of interest. We offer individuals the opportunity to shape their own day through personal choice and preference, while still participating in a structured day. We also work to connect those we serve with their own communities.
