Pacesetters Inc. is honored to be celebrating its 40^th Anniversary of providing services to individuals and families in the Upper Cumberland area. Celebrations were held with an open house in our 5 day centers from July 14^th through July 26^th.

The celebration continued with a dinner at Leslie Towne Center in Cookeville on July 28^th. The crowd was wowed by the touching comments made by Pacesetters’ founder, Ruth Phipps, and was further entertained and inspired by Jack McCall. It was a wonderful evening of reflection on how we started, how we have evolved, and how we have grown into the premier organization we are today.

The annual survey done by the Department of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Services  reviews records, fiscal practices, interviews  service recipients and families, and employees and looks at 10 separate quality measures or domains. Pacesetters score was perfect!

Four Star status is awarded to organizations who perform at the “Exceptional” level on the QA survey for two years in a row and also show “Substantial Compliance”  both years.

According to Karen Galbraith, Executive Director for Pacesetters, “Achieving a perfect score is a huge accomplishment especially for an organization our size and now we have done it for the second consecutive year. This is a nice way to cap off a year we are celebrating our 40th Anniversary. We continue to have a great group of employees and board members who work very hard every day to deliver the highest quality of support to those we serve. This is just one measure of the organizations’ continuing commitment to serve individuals and families in the region in an effective and efficient way.”
