In a major development from Greenville, Project Hope Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to providing services for individuals with autism, is planning a new location at the Greenwood Genetic Center Partnership Campus. The innovative move aims to unite diagnosis and treatment aspects for autism under one roof.

By sharing the same premises, the organizations will boost their ability to help diagnose autism earlier, expanding service access and hastening research and clinical trial opportunities.”
