Easter Seals Hawaii

Easterseals Hawaii (ESH) is creating a more equitable world so people with developmental disabilities can choose their path. We do this by reimagining how care and support can be better connected to fill gaps in human services across an individual's lifespan. Easterseals Hawaii (ESH) continued adhering to its purpose of providing high quality services, maintaining excellent client satisfaction and expanding access to treatment through its new diagnostic evaluations service line. The person-centered philosophy of care ESH upholds ensures clinical programs and services that focus on empowerment while addressing the unique needs and goals of each individual and family receiving our care throughout the state. Our commitment to employee engagement and wellbeing was reflected by our growth in staff, with ESH proudly closing the year with more than 200 highly skilled and dedicated people delivering and supporting care; we anticipate that number to continue growing in 2025. Throughout this past year, we served over 2,000 individuals and families, achieved a cumulative 4.5 out of 5 client satisfaction score and delivered over 285,000 hours of care. As part of ESH's expansion of services, we introduced diagnostic evaluations as a new offering in august. This allows individuals and families across the state to contact us to request an evaluation to determine a diagnosis of intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as Autism. Fielded by our Autism services team, we saw 11 requests for evaluations come through in just 4 short months. Easterseals Hawaii is a member of a family of companies including catalight, catalight care services and easterseals Northern California. Across the four companies, there are over 800 employees working together in support of our shared purpose, which is to create a more equitable world where people with developmental disabilities can choose their path.
