Wednesday, November 27, 2013 EXPANSION: From page 1A The center plans to build a 25% building expansion and a new covered rear en- trance to the 17,000 sq. ft. facility, constructed in 2001, to accommodate current and future growth of the senior population, which is ex- pected to double within the next 10 to 15 years. The facility was de- signed as a multi-purpose facility with a large 500-seat meeting room, and smaller rooms for senior activities, offices for staff, a commer- cial kitchen and a dining room. The center was named in honor of the late H. Lawrence Patrick, a success- ful industrialist who founded Patrick Yarn Mills, whose family was the largest contributor of the center’s initial fundraising campaign. Thornburg outlined a 4- year vision to expand and improve services along with the building expansion, in- cluding creating a new “medical services room” in partnership with Kings Mountain Hospital. The The Kings Mountain Herald | www.kmherald.net named ‘Dover Foundation Annex’ Kathy Wilson presents a check to Mayor Rick Murphrey from the Dover Foundation that rep- resents a $150,000 pledge over a four year period to the Patrick Center capital expansion campaign. Center plans to utilize the new room for more preven- tive health activities, includ- ing health screenings, health education classes, visits by doctors, and an expanded lunch program for seniors, to be overseen by the hospi- tal nutritionist. The increase in space is needed because of the rapid growth in the senior population, and also because of a growing aware- ness on the part of seniors that maintaining an active lifestyle and a good quality of life, while living longer, is enhanced through preven- Photo by ELLIS NOELL tive healthcare measures that stress physical fitness, nutritional meals and main- taining a strong social ties. “Dover Foundation is thrilled to make this invest- ment in Cleveland County, it’s a wonderful opportunity for us,” said Kathy Wilson.
