WAUSAU — The Lincoln County Board has appointed North Central Health Care as the provider of adult day, prevocational and supported employment services to adults with developmental disabilities in Lincoln County, NCHC announced this week. The programs were formerly managed by Lincoln Industries.

Earlier in 2019, Lincoln County Social Services requested an assessment from NCHC of the services at Lincoln Industries, along with any recommendations to enhance services, expand community work opportunities and improve financial stabilization, NCHC said.

Following NCHC’s assessment, the Lincoln County Social Services Board recommended a transfer of services to NCHC, which currently provides developmental disabilities programs for adults in both Marathon and Langlade counties.
