Seven Hills Foundation and the Instituto Psicopedagogogical de Puerto Rico (IPPR) announced the signing of an agreement to promote the advancement of community-based residential supports for children and adults with developmental challenges on the Island. 

Seven Hills President Dr. David A. Jordan and IPPR CEO Jorge Garcia-Ortiz made the joint announcement expressing “their Partnership Agreement is mutually beneficial to both our organizations and IPPR looks to Seven Hills in providing the technical skills required to establish a spectrum of community-based residential options in Puerto Rico and Seven Hills looks to IPPR in cultivating a cadre of trained DSP’s and clinicians supporting Seven Hills’ activities in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. This is truly a win-win for both organizations.”
