Resource Center for Independent Living (RCIL) is a not-for-profit organization created to support independent living for people with disabilities and seniors in need of assistance. They provide full access, power, and self-determination with a focus on integration and assisting people to reach their greatest potential. They support a culture that encourages risk-taking, creativity, and innovation and it's a truly refreshing approach to disability services. 

By providing information, advocacy, and training they are able to help individuals live as independently as possible. 

We are in absolute awe of what the individuals they work with are able to accomplish with their support and encouragement. We are also incredibly proud to be partnering with them on a really exciting project.

MediSked is an ANCOR Gold Sponsor and we were an exhibitor too, so Mike and I spent most of our time staffing our table and sharing the MediSked story. We did manage to sneak away (one at a time) to catch some of the speakers and presentations, though - and I couldn't be more grateful for that.
