Thursday, April 11 officially marks the grand opening of Glenwood Inc.’s completion of a $10 million capital campaign and new Avondale campus.
In 2017, Glenwood purchased three properties for renovation and use for education and therapeutic services in Birmingham. The acquisition was a part of the capital campaign, Renowned Care, Renewed Hope: campaign for Glenwood.
Glenwood’s Children’s Center opened in October 2018. The facility offers Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), which benefits children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Across the alleyway is now Glenwood’s Administration Building. Next door to that, the third building plans to open later this year and will serve as the headquarters for Glenwood’s Outpatient Services.
The outpatient services facility will provide rooms for evaluations and diagnoses of mental health concerns including autism, as well as other offices. Family education and social skills training will be offered from Avondale.
“Thanks to generous donors, Glenwood will be able to officially open two important buildings, adding to its programs and services,” said D. Lee Yount, FACHE, Glenwood’s president and CEO.
She added, “We are actually celebrating a successful campaign that helped us grow, the opening of two buildings and the addition of some very important and growing components of Glenwood’s continuum of care, with two separate ribbon cuttings. We know that to help the most people, we need to be easily accessible to the most people. We are delighted to be near the heart of Birmingham and in the beautiful neighborhood of Avondale. And we still have space for future growth here. We are celebrating that, too.”
Tours of the buildings and valet parking will be available at 608 38th Street South on April 11, 2019.
The new campus adds to Glenwood’s presence with other locations in Huntsville, Montgomery and the central campus located in Birmingham.
