To the Gold Wings:

O'Berry Center is one of the state operated facilities that serve the developmentally disabled population of North Carolina. O'Berry presently serves approximately 295 individuals who reside in group homes on the campus. The population at O'Berry Center has changed over the years as many of our individuals have grown up at the Center and are now senior citizens. As O'Berry Center marked its 50th Anniversary in 2007, it also received a name change-O'Berry Neuro-Medical Treatment Center. O'Berry Center will begin serving over sixty counties to provide services for the older population of individuals with developmental disabilities requiring more intensive medical care. Consequently, O'Berry is refocusing its efforts to provide the medical, nursing, and other services that are required to meet the unique needs of this growing population. In 2008, the individuals ranged in age from 23 to 85 while the average age is over 50. Seventy five percent of the individuals who reside at the Center have significant health related challenges. The mission of the Center is to provide the services and supports each person chooses to achieve their highest quality of life. And for the past twelve years, the Gold Wings have helped to make a difference in the lives of the individuals we serve. Thank you for your love and support, and we look forward to this year as being our greatest ever.
