UC Health announced the grand opening of the expanded Timothy Freeman, MD, Center for Developmental Disabilities, a facility in the Greater Cincinnati region dedicated to providing comprehensive care for adults with developmental disabilities. 

The expanded Center increases its footprint tenfold, allowing UC Health to welcome more patients and deliver high-quality, interdisciplinary care in an environment designed for accessibility, dignity and comfort. 

Every detail of the new Freeman Center was informed by input from patients, caregivers, self-advocates and community partners. This collaboration led to the creation of a healing space that is physically accessible, sensory-friendly and tailored to the unique needs of adults with developmental and genetic disabilities, including autism, cerebral palsy, Down Syndrome and spina bifida. 

The Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Cincinnati offers a one-year Developmental Medicine Fellowship to train physicians in the specialized care of adults with developmental disabilities. Based at the Timothy Freeman, MD, Center for Developmental Disabilities at UC Health, fellows provide primary care, work with an interdisciplinary team and participate in the LEND program at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, with opportunities for teaching and research.
