The United Cerebral Palsy Association of Cayuga County New York, Inc. known today as the E. John Gavras Center was founded in 1953. It began as a small clinic, a therapeutic program for disabled children, in the Auburn Memorial Hospital with a physical therapist named John Gavras. The clinic was inspired by parents of children with developmental and physical disabilities who wanted another choice in care for their children. In two short years, the clinic needed more space expanding services, adding staff and serving many more children. What began in 1953 was a program whose hallmark has always been cooperation with community organizations and responsiveness to the specific needs of the local citizenry. This philosophy has grown over the past 60 years and has evolved into an evaluation and treatment facility of the highest quality in Cayuga County providing educational, therapeutic, OPWDD and respite care to individuals with special needs of all ages.
