The mission
Lakemary Center provides essential education, mental and behavioral health, and social services to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Founded in 1969 by the Ursuline Sisters of Paola, Lakemary’s journey began with a vision to support children with special needs. Today, services continue to expand, empowering individuals of all ages to achieve their fullest potential.
