New Alternatives for Children, Inc.

NAC's mission is to provide high quality services in support of birth, foster, and adoptive families who are caring for children with special medical needs at home. Working primarily with children whose birth families live in poverty, NAC seeks to enable them to remain in, or return to, their homes whenever possible, or to be adopted by loving families when necessary. NAC's services ensure that the physical, social, educational, recreational, healthcare, and mental health needs of medically fragile children are met. By supporting families, NAC prevents the institutionalization of children, precludes lengthy stays in foster care, and facilitates the timely discharge of children from hospitals. NAC builds on family strengths, provides opportunities, and assists all family members in reaching for and realizing their dreams.
