About Us

Due to inclement weather and poor driving and parking conditions, the Center will be closed Monday February 8, 2010 AND Tuesday February 9, 2010.  Significant additional snowfall is predicted to begin on Tuesday afternoon and could result in a Wednesday closing also.  Nursing staff members are monitoring medications and will make plans as needed.  Please contact any Community Support Staff listed below for any medication (or other) concerns.

The McClendon Center serves the needs of adults diagnosed with serious and persistent mental illness by fostering creativity, friendship, stability, independence, emotional growth, and greater participation in the community. The Center was founded by the Reverend Doctor Jack E. McClendon and began operating in 1980 as a mission of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church. In 2004 the McClendon Center became a separate 501(c)(3) organization. It is governed by a Board of Directors composed of community members, church members, and mental health consumers.  The McClendon Center's CFC number is 67679.
