Center for Health, Education and Opportunity to Open in East Charlotte
A Center for Health, Education and Opportunity is planned for the site of what is currently the Shamrock Senior Center. The 6,000-square-foot center will open in the fall, at which point all senior programs will be moved to the nearby Methodist Home Park.
From the article:
Aldersgate, a continuing care retirement community, is the driving force behind the initiative and is supplying the center facility, which is located on the nonprofit’s 231-acre campus on Shamrock Drive. Partners include UNC Charlotte’s College of Education and College of Health and Human Services, as well as the Johnston YMCA. Seniors who live at Aldersgate will serve as volunteers for the site’s programming.
In addition to children’s education programs, the center will provide families in the area with access to community-based health and disease-prevention services.
