About The Center for Human Services

The Center for Human Services' story is one of hope, care, and service. In the last 67 years, Center for Human Services grew from a single room in rural Missouri to a state-wide leader in innovation, elevating those who face limitations in the form of physical, mental, and financial challenges. Our story originated in the basement of the hospital in Sedalia, Missouri. In 1955, a single teacher began to instruct nine disadvantaged students. Today, Center for Human Services consists of the following programs: Service Coordination, Residential Services, Employment Services, Community Support Services, Clinical Behavioral Services, Head Start and Early Head Start, Missouri First Steps, and Aquatics. We have continued to assist, teach, and develop fellow Missourians to live a Life Beyond Limitations. We currently employ over 500 people who serve several thousand individuals across more than 47 counties in Missouri. While we may have grown in size and reach, we have never forgotten our humble beginnings. Center for Human Services will always rely on local, dedicated, and caring professionals who touch the lives of those in the communities we serve.
