Takeda San Diego gives to San Diego Center for Children
Takeda San Diego donated a major gift to the San Diego Center for Children. The donation will allow the center to start a new behavioral health diagnostic program that will lead to more individualized diagnoses and treatments. The San Diego Center for Children cares for children throughout San Diego County providing an array of mental health and academic programs for children who’ve experienced trauma, abuse or have emotional or mental health challenges. Having this state-of-the-art program will promote a faster return to healthy childhoods for the Center’s residents.
- Mayor Sanders, Dr. Cheryl Rode, Dr. Keith Wilson, and Dave McCaslin at the Press Conference.
“Given the complexity of the children we help, we believe that more refined and individualized diagnosis and treatment plans are critical to help ensure each child’s success,” said Cheryl Rode, Ph.D., Director of Clinical Operations at the Center.
Before the gift, there had been no funding available for the Center to implement the comprehensive behavioral health diagnostic program that was needed to provide each child with the best care possible. Takeda San Diego has worked with the Center, supporting charity events and yearly holiday parties, since 2002. Takeda employees have built a relationship with the organization and are happy to support the center and assist in giving these children the best chance for a joyful, successful life.
One core aspect of Takeda’s philosophy is helping communities and this gift will help San Diego’s children and families. “It’s nice to bring that support to San Diego” said Dr. Keith Wilson, Ph. D., Taked San Diego President when speaking about the importance of the new assessment.
