Project Hope Foundation plans to open a new location on the Greenwood Genetic Center Partnership Campus.
The local nonprofit offers services to children and teens with autism. Susan Sachs, Project Hope’s co-founder and co-CEO, said the foundation’s new location offers a unique opportunity to bring together both diagnosis and treatment of autism.
GGC provides clinical care, genetic testing and research for patients and families impacted by genetic disorders. The nonprofit’s 191-acre campus is located at 106 Gregor Mendel Circle in Greenwood. Clemson University’s Center for Human Genetics is also located on the campus.
“Through this partnership, families who receive care from GGC can immediately walk over to see the services we provide, giving them answers and encouragement soon after their child is diagnosed,” said Lisa Lane, Project Hope’s co-founder and co-CEO.
Steve Skinner, GGC president and CEO, said GGC and Project Hope have a long history of collaboration and a shared mission to provide cutting-edge care for those impacted by autism.
“We are thrilled to have them on our campus as we expand our partnership to help expedite earlier diagnoses, expand access to services, and work together on research and future clinical trial opportunities,” Skinner said.
Project Hope’s new building designs and construction timeline are still being finalized. The nonprofit will continue to use its current temporary space in Greenwood as the new building is constructed.
