Message from the Executive Director

About Texas Panhandle Centers:

Welcome to Texas Panhandle Centers (TPC). We are part of the Texas Community Center system and are governed by a local Board of Trustees representing the citizens of the upper twenty-one counties of the Texas Panhandle. The primary populations that we serve are individuals with severe mental illness, intellectual and developmental disabilities and children with developmental delays. We provide quality services to over seven thousand individuals and their families each year. Clients and staff decide together on individual plans of care that can include a wide array of available services such as assessment, case management, medication and a variety of other treatment and support services.

At the heart of TPC’s work is our mission:

To respond to the diverse needs of all people with mental illness, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and developmental delays by creating an accessible system of services which supports individual choices and results in lives of dignity and independence.

This mission serves as our cornerstone as we strive daily to fulfill our vision of Making Lives Better. On behalf of our volunteers, staff and Board of Trustees welcome to Texas Panhandle Centers.
