Celebrating 90 Years
Community Gatepath was founded on June 30, 1920 as the Preventorium; a live-in facility to care for and educate ill and malnourished children. Over the years, its name has changed, but its goals and impact on the San Mateo region remain strong. Gatepath is the largest provider of services for people with disabilities in the county, serving over 8,300 individuals yearly through direct care and outreach. As it celebrates its 90th anniversary, it is because of its stability, innovation and longevity that it looks towards the next 90 years with new programs including AbilityPath.org and Access to Independence (Summer 2010 launch).

Thousands of families have been impacted by Gatepath over the years. We encourage you to share your story by submitting memories to our 90th anniversary Scrapbook. Throughout the year, we will profile participants and their families whose lives we have touched and whom has inspired us. You will be able to find these profiles on our website, newsletters and e-updates. To submit a memory, go to our Anniversary Scrapbook. We also encourage you to take a look back through our Histogram . This timeline provides a snapshot of Gatepath’s amazing history and the events and legislation that surround people with disabilities.

As we look towards the future, the culmination of our 90th anniversary celebrations will take place at The Power of Possibilities Breakfast being held on October 21. For more information on the Breakfast and all our events, click here. We thank you for supporting Gatepath as we continue “Turning Disabilities Into Possibilities” for the next 90 years.
