SCU Service / Supports Coordinators Help You

What is a Service / Supports Coordinator?

Our service coordinators and supports coordinators at SCU have the experience and the knowledge of resources and they are committed to helping our participants live independently and continue to play an active role in their communities.  We promote the mission of the  Department of Human Services and share in its vision for all Pennsylvanians to live safe, healthy, independent, and meaningful lives.

What our participants say about our coordinators ...

  • I would just like to say Tiffany has been my hope when I lost it. Because of all the hard work that she does I am a human being again. She treats me like I am her only client and even when I feel like nobody else understands my needs, Tiffany does and finds resources to problem solve in a positive way. This program and Tiffany gave me back the quality of life. Thank you.
  • Amy goes above and beyond and she has been the best of any coordinators.
  • Dawn is very friendly, helpful and quick to answer any questions.
  • Bridget is amazing.
  • I have no issues at all. I will never give up Valerie, she is a always on top of everything I need. I love her because she’s the best!
