UPDATE: In response to several inquiries, I wanted to update everyone on our on-going COVID-19 response. ARC Marion Adult Day Training Program (ADT) to remain closed.

We appreciate your continued patience as we navigate this challenge. I urge you to check back for updates or contact myself or Leah Craig for answers to your questions or concerns. – Stay well, Frank Sofia, CEO
