2009 Service Provider of the Year

Oak Hill recognized Pediatric Dentistry of New Britain and Drs. Rostenberg and Thal with its 2009 Service Provider of the Year Award.

"Pediatric Dentistry deserves this recognition for the work they have done.  They have the same core values as Oak Hill and the people they serve are the center of all they do.  They hold their practice and themselves to the highest ethical standards and have enhanced the quality of life for people with disabilties with their excellent service and innovative treatment."  - Sue Davis, manager, Oak Hill Community Programs (Middlebury)

Oak Hill School

Every student, regardless of the severity of his or her disability, can make progress.  Oak Hill helps them to develop their potential. 

"Having a year round program helps our family tremendously because I work full-time and my husband works full-time.  When Eddie is in school he's busy.  He's not just sitting home doing nothing.  When he sits at home his muscles get stiff and when he's at school, he is always being moved or ranged or he's swimming and doing other things that actually benefit him.  Everything is so much better for him at the Oak Hill School." - Jean Bernier, Eddie's mother

CRSE's Positive Choices Program
