The Children's Home presents at Rotary
HILLCREST, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – A 112-year-old non-profit continues to grow in our area as it finds new and innovative ways to support children and their families.
George Dermody, President and CEO of The Children's Home, was the guest speaker at the Binghamton Noon Rotary Club on Monday.
The Children's Home maintains its headquarters at its main campus in Hillcrest but has expanded over the years to add numerous offices and programs across our region.
What started as an orphanage has now grown beyond residential treatment for children with mental health and behavioral issues.
Dermody says The Children's Home continues to increase its focus on in-home and community supports as the field of behavioral healthcare evolves.
'We have been developing more programs and services and opportunities to support children and families living in their own homes, to give them the skills and strength they need to remain in their communities,' said Dermody.
Dermody says The Children's Home serves close to 1,000 families each year with 675 employees and growing.
In 2020, it opened the Southern Tier Community Center in Endicott at the site of the former Boys and Girls Club of Western Broome in order to preserve the recreational and childcare programming that the area relied on.
