At Easterseals, we’re leading the way to 100% equity, inclusion, and access. And we’re going there together.
We used your input to create our next Strategic Plan. It includes the goals, aspirations, and initiatives that we want to implement and achieve over the next three Fiscal Years. This is the plan that will guide us into the future of Easterseals, and we’re going there together.
We’ve determined five promises we want to make to our donors, team, the people and families we support, our stakeholders, and our community:
Our services will focus on whole-person care, independence, and its impact on the people we support, their families, and the community.
We will advocate for the people we support, our workforce, and our community.
We will invest in our workforce to retain, develop, and attract mission-driven talent.
We will be financially strategic to fuel innovation, growth, and financial sustainability.
We will utilize technology to capture, analyze, and use data to drive our programs and their success.
To uphold these promises, we’ve decided to focus on three transformation categories: Missouri, Kansas, and Technology.
Each category includes an overall goal, objectives to help us achieve them, and initiatives we will implement to get us there.
