MONTICELLO – Sullivan County has been awarded a $2 million Community Development Block Grant for one of its largest health organizations, the Center for Discovery.
County Economic Development Director Freda Eisenberg said the funding will be a pass-through grant.
“It will be going to the Center for Discovery to support a variety of COVID-related physical improvements for safety at those facilities,” she said.
The Center for Discovery® has been designated a New York State Center of Excellence in the Care and Treatment of Children with Complex Disabilities based on its internationally recognized curriculum and programs, and its school for children with complex disabilities, medical frailties, and Autism Spectrum Disorders. In both its pediatric and adult programs, The Center has pioneered a shift away from focusing on disability, and instead focuses on the abilities, accomplishments and potential of each child and adult.
