A MESSAGE FROM
THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR And
BOARD PRESIDENT
Embracing Change
Benjamin Franklin said that “When you’re
finished changing, you’re finished!” 2017 has certainly been a year of transition
for Queens Centers for Progress. Charlie
Houston, our beloved Executive Director, retired and I assumed
his position. We promoted several key leaders and welcomed
new staff. We continue to be inspired by those who came before
us, and by the wonderful staff who give of themselves every
day with grace and selflessness. The culture of caring at QCP
continues to promote individuality and independence for each
person we support. This new year promises to be full of challenges for the entire field
as well as for QCP. OPWDD has shared its Transition Plan, laying
the foundation for Managed Care for most of our programs and
services. We are faced with threats to the Affordable Care Act
and to Medicaid, our primary funding source. Medicaid Service
Coordination, the lifeline for many with developmental disabilities
and their families, will become Care Coordination, operated by a
new company.
We’re not sure what these changes will
mean for us, but with change comes
opportunity. Even as we face new
challenges, our values remain the same.
We will continue to support and advocate
for people with developmental disabilities
and their families, promoting lifelong
opportunities and empowering people to
lead productive lives.
Terri Ross, Executive Director
Michael J. Macaluso, Board President

Queens Centers for Progress is committed to providing person-centered services and supports to children and adults who have developmental disabilities. The goal of these services and supports is to promote independence, community involvement, and quality of life.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES
Queens Centers for Progress will: 1. Provide individually-designed services which will maximize: - independent decision-making capabilities, - integration into community life, - daily living, educational, and work-related skills. 2. Advocate for the rights and entitlements of persons with
developmental disabilities. Demonstrate our commitment to these rights by always treating those who use our services, and their families, with dignity and respect. 3. Engage in community outreach and public education to further
awareness of the agency’s services, and the positive role played by persons with developmental disabilities.
4. Establish relationships with community and governmental organizations involved with services to people with developmental disabilities.
5. Attract, train, and retain staff who are committed to providing services of consistently high quality, who are compensated fairly for their work, and who are treated with respect.
6. Operate the agency in a manner which demonstrates adherence to high ethical standards and assures financial stability, and thereby protect the ongoing ability to carry out the agency’s Mission.
