FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO) — Easterseals Northeast Indiana announced that it will begin operating all locations in Fort Wayne, Angola and Columbia City under one name: Easterseals Northeast Indiana.

As Easterseals Northeast Indiana is the region’s largest provider of disability programs and services, it’s important for the community to be informed of this name change.

Easterseals Arc of Northeast Indiana, based in Fort Wayne, merged with two other disability service providers in regional communities over the past several years – RISE Inc. in Angola in 2020 and Passages in Columbia City in 2021.

After the mergers, the names of the locations were updated to Easterseals RISE and Easterseals Passages.

With today’s name announcement, all locations will operate as Easterseals Northeast Indiana.
