UCP of Central Arizona’s Laura Dozer Center celebrates 20 years on impact
UCP of Central Arizona’s Laura Dozer Center in North Phoenix is celebrating 20 years of service in the Valley this March. Located at 19th Ave. and Pinnacle Peak, the Laura Dozer facility has provided physical, occupational, speech and feeding therapy to thousands of children and hundreds of adults who have been part of the facility’s day treatment center since opening in 2003.
The center was originally built thanks to the generosity of Rich and Karie Dozer, Valley philanthropists who focus their giving on many causes including health and human services for the underserved in Arizona. Through their leadership, the Dozers brought together many community partners, including Jerry and Joan Colangelo of the Phoenix Suns, to secure the resources needed to build the new center. The campus, named after the Dozers’ late daughter, Laura Grace, was designed specifically to meet the needs of children and adults with disabilities and their families.
