I am confident that the expertise, resources, and programs now available will make a meaningful, lasting impact on all who spend time with our team at The Anderson Center Clinic.”

In addition, we offer families and caregivers a chance to experience an ongoing integrated support network that will support their journey and position everyone for the best possible outcomes. With 1 in 36 diagnosed, programs like The Anderson Center Clinic are critically important and we encourage anyone who might benefit to explore our offerings.”

As an example, The Anderson Center Clinic was supported by a $235,000 Empire State Development capital grant that was recommended by the Capital Region Economic Development Council. We’ve been building several relationships with community stakeholders as well in order to secure a strong financial future; we’re very grateful for the incredible support we’ve received.”
