Fiscal Year 2011 was a success

Quality Progressions has completed its 7th year. We continue to be recognized for providing Quality Supports Coordination.

We have expanded to support people connected to 8 Administrative Entities (Counties).

The organization now has 72 employees compared to 45 in 2004. Please feel free to visit us at our 2 offices:

Quality Progressions’ Staff Get Honored

Over the past year our staff continued to be acknowledged for providing excellent services.

This year, our staff were again recognized at the Points of Transformation Awards. Tara Bolinski,Supports Coordinator Supervisor and Emily Langan, Supports were honored at The Points of Transformation Awards on September 16, 2011 at Philadelphia Community College.

Daisy Christie was nominated for The Leadership Award at the Philadelphia Alliance of Provider Agencies Award Luncheon.Aisha Rice was nominated for the Team Spirit award at that same luncheon. Please know that although they didn’t win, we are very proud of them. The competition for these awards was fierce; there were 22 nominees for the leadership award and 18 nominees for the spirit award.

I believe we continue to get recognized for these awards because we are an agency seen for providing quality services that are value driven.

We are Expanding

We are now serving people in Philadelphia, Delaware, Chester, Montgomery, Northampton, and Lehigh Counties, and also from the joinders of Carbon/Monroe/ Pike and Lackawanna/Susquehanna.We are also currently in HCSIS as a willing provider in Bucks, Luzerne and Berks Counties.

We look forward to providing Supports Coordination choice to anyone registered in any of those counties. Please call for more information.

We are Making a Difference

We had great success this year collecting contributions and distributing gift cards to our consumers to enhance their holidays. We delivered $3,150.00 worth of gift cards to 126 families for the winter holidays. Thank you to the Board for their efforts in this. We are already collecting to beat that goal next year. If you are interested in helping a consumer for the holidays this year with a donation, please contact Joel. Please know that 100% of donations go to our consumers.

Also to support our families, we continue to partner with Cradles to Crayons. 50 of our younger consumers received packages this year delivered by our Supports Coordinators. This is a 20% increase since last year.

We provided services to 2,100 consumers (15% increase) for approximately 200,000 (6 % increase) units of service this year.

I look forward to another successful year.
