b'Message from the President/CEOBack to Growth & SustainabilityLast year was another amazing year! While still navigating through COVID 19 and health restrictions, UCP fully re-opened all in-person programming, bringing the individuals we serve back to see the staff that missed seeing their faces in-person every day. We saw many successes:Safety: UCP had the best safety record the organization has ever had since starting to track incidents in 1997. The success of the staffs focus gave UCP a 99% safety record, earning UCP the Gold Award from our insurance, reflecting our commitment to safety for our clients and our staff. Transportation: UCP purchased 10 new transportation vehicles, hired 20 new drivers, and now has daily service for people in need in Placerville. Recreation: Listening to the families and clients we serve, we know there is a need for recreational programming. UCP launched the UCP Recreation Department in March, hosting a minimum of one recreational activity a month along with collaborating with third party vendors to create more opportunities.Your constant support has allowed UCP to be flexible, be creative, and shift services to meet the demands of clients in real time today and for tomorrow. You make it possible for UCP to make quick adjustments to our programming, ensuring our clients can continue to live a life without limits.I am excited for what we have planned for this year along with the future, knowing that the UCP team is ready to take on any challenge with the same spirit and ingenuity as we have shown over the past few years. For now, with your ongoing support, we will focus on our strategic growth, continue to focus on safety for both clients and staff, and tackle new challenges as they arise.Thank you,Doug BergmanPresident/CEO2021-2022 Annual Report2'
