Kerr’s Children’s Crisis Psychiatric Care and Outpatient Mental Health programs received a three-year accreditation—the highest level—from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) International.
Kerr adds new community inclusion programs for adults with I/DD, including Portland Art and Learning Studios (PALS).
The Wynne Watts School (named for a former medical director) opens on the campus of the Louise Home.
In 2009, Kerr Bikes becomes a new social enterprise of Kerr, offering an employment opportunity for people in Kerr’s I/DD programs.
In 1997, with $3.2 million raised from community donations, Kerr constructs a new building and begins operating a Crisis Psychiatric Care program for children in danger of harming themselves or others, as well as a residential intensive treatment program.
