Dr. Piper Center for Social Services

The Dr. Piper Center for Social Services, Inc. is a nonprofit 501 [c] (3) social service agency, incorporated in 1975. The agency provides multiple programs and services for adults over 55 and children with special needs. Our mission is to enhance the social and economic well being of those 55 and older and make a positive impact in the lives of children with special needs and frail elderly clients. It was originally founded as a neighborhood center carrying on the ideals of community service exemplified by Dr. Ella Piper, a distinguished physician and community leader in Fort Myers during the first half of the twentieth century.
