Advanced Dental Care + Project Independence

Serving the needs of Orange County Adults with Developmental Disabilities

Throughout the year, Advanced Dental Care takes pride in supporting and bringing awareness to local organizations doing AMAZING things in our communities.  We learned about Project Independence through our fellow Costa Mesa Chamber of Commerce friend and Project Independence’s Director of Development, Todd Eckert!  Todd became a patient of Dr. Jeremy Jorgenson’s and over time we got the pleasure of learning more about him and his organization.

Project Independence (PI) is a nonprofit organization founded right here in Orange County, CA in 1977!  The organization is based just down the road from us in Costa Mesa.  Project Indepedence focuses on helping people with developmental disabilities live independent and productive lives by securing jobs and housing for the clients.  The Core Programs include:

• Independent Living
• Supported Employment
• Day Programs
• Positive Behavior Supports
• Work Incentive Planning and Assistance (WIPA)
• Access2Adventure
