Grades 2–8 Programming Relocates to Beautiful Aris Clinic – Woodwinds
Monday, July 11, was an exciting day for Aris Clinic patients, families and staff. After much anticipation, we officially opened the new expansion (increasing our space by 50%) of Aris Clinic – Woodwinds, located at 2040 Woodwinds Drive, Woodbury.
The extra space allowed us to move our Aris Clinic – Currell programming to Aris Clinic – Woodwinds, uniting all services in one, convenient location. As of July 11, our Children’s IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program) and grades 2 – 8 patients – formerly at our leased Currell Boulevard site – permanently moved into Woodwinds’ existing building. The Adolescent IOP (grades 9–12) transitioned into Woodwinds’ new wing.
Shalene Kennedy, M.D., founder of Aris Clinic in 2011 and owner, explained how the expansion is already impacting patients and staff in positive ways.
“By physically consolidating our therapeutic and educational services for all ages, we can provide an even higher quality of care leveraging the expertise of all of our therapeutic and psychiatric providers. And, all of our patients will be at one, private site dedicated to healing, with the same access to bright indoor spaces and outdoor therapeutic areas including a sport court.”
Aris Clinic broke ground on new construction last year to increase the Woodwinds facility size by over 50% to 25,000 square feet. The original 15,000-square-foot clinic was also a new build and opened in 2019 on 20 acres, surrounded by natural wetlands and nature trails. But the growing need for pediatric mental health services, especially the clinic’s IOP, contributed to quickly outgrowing the space.
The new Aris Clinic – Woodwinds expansion includes:
- Additional large indoor exercise area
- Additional art therapy rooms
- Additional offices for expanded outpatient services
- Sliding exterior doors to allow for indoor/outdoor programming and more fresh air
- Ability to have siblings in one location, but in separate groups and wings
- More staff
- Expanded walking trails around the campus
- A large outdoor sport court
We would love to share our beautiful new space with you and your family. Please call our main number, 651-259-9759, to schedule a tour of Aris Clinic – Woodwinds.
