The problem was clear to Kate – the unavailability of key services and lack of continuity leading to social isolation, lack of normality as a family, loss of hope, and limited access to educational and career opportunities.

Kate’s response was to establish The Crann Centre with a mission to break the system of fragmented care for people with neuro-physical disabilities and their families. In 2018, with the support of the Ruth Lilly Philanthropic Foundation, this mission became a reality when the Crann Centre opened its doors for the first time.

Today, our team of expert health care professionals are pioneering a 2 Generation (2Gen) approach that supports both the person with disability and their family. We are now providing life-long, life-changing supports for neuro-physical conditions including Spina Bifida, Hydrocephalus, Cerebral Palsy, Muscular Dystrophy, Osteogenesis Imperfecta, Arthrogryposis, Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Spinal Cord Injury, Stroke and Multiple Sclerosis.
