Alleghenies United Cerebral Palsy

What Alleghenies United Cerebral Palsy does

Alleghenies United Cerebral Palsy (AUCP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1955 and headquartered in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, that delivers Service Coordination and Case Management for individuals with physical and developmental disabilities across most of Pennsylvania's 67 counties. Its core service is personalized care planning, in-home assessment, and resource connection administered through multiple Pennsylvania waiver programs — Community HealthChoices (CHC) for dually eligible adults, the Adult Autism Waiver, the Attendant Care Waiver/ACT 150 Program, and the OBRA Waiver — plus the Re-Use It Program, which redistributes gently used durable medical equipment and assistive technology free of charge through distribution sites in Johnstown, Altoona, and Hanover. The organization also operates the AUCP Community Fund for emergency assistance, the Be The Future Scholarship Fund, and serves as a local conduit for the UCP Elsie S. Bellows Fund.

AUCP's delivery model is human-services intensive, with 60+ staff including Service Coordinators, Community Health Workers, and regional supervisors aligned to its managed-care partners (UPMC Community HealthChoices and AmeriHealth Community HealthChoices); no proprietary software platform, AI system, or automation layer is described in the source material. The business is funded primarily through Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare reimbursement for service coordination, managed-care contracts with UPMC and AmeriHealth CHC, federal pass-through funding via Pennsylvania's Initiative on Assistive Technology (PIAT) at Temple University under the Administration on Community Living, foundation grants (notably the Donald B. and Dorothy L. Stabler Foundation), and donations raised through community events such as the annual Murder Mystery Dinner and the Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community.

The organization is governed by a seven-member volunteer Board of Directors (chaired by Don Dudley) under CEO Thomas Lawson and Director of Operations Teil Odenthal. AUCP holds 100% NCQA Case Management Accreditation for Long-Term Services & Supports and an LTSS Distinction, both valid through November 9, 2027, and is nationally affiliated with United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) National. It participates in a broader affiliate network that includes Connexus HSN, Blackburns, Total Mobility, Open Systems, Care Unlimited, Interim Healthcare, Laurel Med, Alleghenies Unlimited Care Providers, Somerset Med, and Walnut Medical, and supports roughly 3,000–4,000 individuals monthly across the Commonwealth.
