Serving Middlesex County Since 1968  – NuPath Inc.

NuPath Inc. was founded in 1968 as the Mystic Valley Association for Retarded Citizens and eventually became known as CMARC (Central Middlesex Association for Retarded Citizens). In those early years we touched the lives of just 35 people a day with a handful of staff. Today NuPath supports more than 300 people each day, working beside you in dozens of communities and living as your neighbors in beautiful homes across 18 cities and towns.

In 2006 we began to hear trickles of complaints about our name from our friends, their families and our staff. There was no ignoring that the name of our beloved organization, CMARC, was an acronym that included the “R” word that had long ago been eliminated from our vocabularies.  In time this trickle of unhappiness became a stream of protest then a river of support urging us to join the national movement to eliminate the use of a word that did not reflect value or respect for the community we served.

And so, with the support of our friends, families, staff and board of directors, we began a year-long voyage of reflection and discovery and to our new name that is now loved by all:  NuPath, Inc. We are proud of this name, and believe that our tagline, Supporting Your Journey, reflects our enduring mission for our staff and the people we serve.

Throughout the past four decades of social change and technological revolution, NuPath has remained an industry leader and we have never lost sight of our founding principles of dignity and respect.  Our continued growth over these 40 long years is proud testament to the success of our programs and our stakeholder satisfaction our reward for success.  And while NuPath has become the standard for excellence across the Commonwealth and beyond, we look always forward and onward, pushing our limits and improving every best practice.

We invite you to join our family in your own journey of self-discovery!
