OUR MISSION
A storied history centered on care and compassion.
Since our humble beginnings as Linn County’s first children’s human service agency (we’ve been around since 1879), we’ve evolved to serve the ever-changing needs of our community. Our programs focus on prevention, treatment, and outreach and serve children, teens, and young adults. We support more than 4,000 youth and families per year—primarily in Linn and Johnson counties in southeast Iowa—but all families are welcome at Tanager.
