The Arc of Medina County
As The Arc of Medina County, SHC advocates for human rights, personal dignity and community participation of individuals with mental retardation and other developmental disabilities. We are able to facilitate this through legislative and social action, information and education and with the support of dedicated family members, friends, interested citizens and professionals in the disability field.
