About Easter Seals UCP

On January 1, 2004 Easter Seals UCP North Carolina was established as a result of a merger between Easter Seals North Carolina and UCP of North Carolina. Easter Seals and United Cerebral Palsy have a 65-year history providing supports and services to people with disabilities and mental health challenges in North Carolina. In 2004, Easter Seals North Carolina, Inc. and United Cerebral Palsy of North Carolina, Inc. merged to become Easter Seals UCP North Carolina, Inc.
