The Menninger Clinic Unveils Plans for Mental Health Epicenter; Exceeds Halfway Point in $125 Million Capital Campaign
Date:11/9/2007

HOUSTON, Nov. 9 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Menninger Clinic, the international specialty psychiatric hospital in Houston, today unveiled plans for The Menninger Mental Health Epicenter -- that include The Clinic's new campus and an international center for mental health research, treatment, training and advocacy.

Menninger will be located within a 10-minute drive from the Texas Medical Center on South Main Street, near South Post Oak Road -- moving The Clinic closer to affiliates Baylor College of Medicine and The Methodist Hospital, and collaborating organizations in the Texas Medical Center. The Clinic moved from Topeka in 2003 to its current located at 2801 Gessner Drive in west Houston, with the ultimate goal of relocating near the Texas Medical Center.

Menninger's Miracles in Mind campaign has raised $69.3 million, and is more than half way to its goal of $125 million. $65.8 million will go toward building the first phase of the Clinic's new campus. $3.5 million will benefit treatment, research and education programs. Construction on The Epicenter is expected to begin in fall 2008, with a target completion date of summer 2010.

"The Epicenter will be a beacon of hope to persons suffering from mental illness and the people who love them," says Ian Aitken, Menninger CEO and president. "Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we will achieve our goal to improve mental health worldwide, prevent mental illness and eliminate stigma."

One in five Americans suffers from mental illness. The Menninger Mental Health Epicenter will provide much-needed mental health services for the Houston and Texas communities, as well as for individuals nationally and internationally. The Epicenter will also unify mental health research efforts and increase collaboration to develop a greater understanding of brain, behavior and addictive disorders and methods for preventing mental illness.
