Brenda Feece emphasized the importance of the planned upgrades, stating, “Last year, we served over 150 clients, doubling from the previous year, and the demand for our services continues to grow. Expanding our Greenwood facility will allow us to serve more families and provide timely, compassionate care.” She also highlighted the immense challenge of serving six counties, opening a new clinic in Abbeville last fall, and aspirations for a future clinic in McCormick County this fall. “It’s a big task, but we’ve been making steady progress to meet the increasing needs of our community,” she added.
