This community shows the power of coming together. As a group, we impact thousands of lives every single day. Throughout Rhode Island, everyone from children to older adults receive support.
This work could not be done without our community of thousands of people from across the state who believe everyone should be included in daily life.
CPNRI has 35 members that provide services across Rhode Island. Our providers support children and adults with disabilities. The people our providers support are your neighbors, friends, family and co-workers. It is pivotal work that impacts our state today and for years to come.
