Exceptional Care for Children (ECC) is excited to announce that it is the 2018 recipient of (AHCA)’s Non Profit Program of the Year for its Magical Journey to Disney World. Each year, AHCA recognizes the men and women who selflessly care for individuals in long term and post-acute care centers, and Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (ID/DD) residences.

Exceptional Care for Children’s Administrator, Annette Moore shares her excitement on receiving the award: “It is an honor to be awarded the Non Profit Program of the Year by the American Health Care Association. ECC receives this award because of the passion and dedication to those that we serve, specifically highlighting our three magical journey’s to Walt Disney World in 2011, 2013 and 2015. These journeys are some of the best examples of adding value to the lives of the children that we are entrusted to care for at ECC. Many people that I have encountered over my 25 years in the Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) industry continue to marvel at how this healthcare team tends to make things look effortless all while providing the highest quality of care and service. A true award-winning facility!”
