“Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.”  This statement delivered by President Obama describes perfectly the work of the Pioneer Network. For the past twenty years, WE are the ones creating the change we seek. In settings all across the country, committed staff have discovered ways to move from institutional care to individualized care.
