I was
devastated to hear yesterday that, effective July 1, the Child
Development Clinic in Winchester, a long-time friend of Essential Pieces
and MANY of our families, will no longer be seeing clients, and that
they will be closing their doors later this summer because the
Department of Health will no longer fund their program. If you also feel
saddened by this news, and would like to do something
to help advocate for our friends at the CDC, please contact Jill Vogel.
As it currently stands, any child in our area who needs an evaluation
will now have to go to the Harrisonburg/JMU clinic (imagine your child
on his or her worst day, having to drive well over an hour one way, and
then having to sit through an evaluation!!). Additionally, don't forget
that the CDC also facilitates the DD Waiver application process for our
kids! WE NEED THE CDC IN OUR COMMUNITY! Please, if ever the time to
advocate, now is the time. This is a PRECIOUS community service provider
for the Northern Shenandoah Valley, and I cannot fathom not having them
in our neighborhood.
Please spread the word.....and contact Jill Vogel!!!!!
Tell her what the CDC means to you!
