The Child Center’s Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the new child mental health Outpatient and Assessment Program Building was a proud moment for the agency.
Amid the rain and wind, many came to help us honor those who helped make this building possible.
The purpose of the building is to provide an array of mental health assessment and treatment services to children of Lane County and their families.
Speakers included US District Judge Michael Hogan, Springfield Mayor Christine Lundberg and Eugene Mayor Kitty Piercy, TBG Architect John Lawless, Board President Scott Diehl and The Child Center Executive Director Bill Wellard.
Judge Hogan talked about the importance of treatment for mental health disorders in childhood so that the children succeed as adults rather than end up in the court system.
Child Center Board President, Scott Diehl, invited all to come inside to get out of the wind and rain.
Eugene Mayor Kitty Piercy and Springfield Mayor Christine Lundberg cut the dedication ribbon.
This beautiful installation in the lobby was created by the Presentation Design Group, with art by Liz Tran.
