We are committed to doing everything we can to keep the clients we serve, their families and our team members healthy and safe.
At Emmaus, we know that the people we support want to be independent.
In order to do that, they need a community that embraces their unique abilities.
For over 125 years, as a faith-based organization, we have provided quality services, caring for the whole person for their whole life.
