It was a blessing to give the Robinson family a tour of new Amazing Place West and and show our founder’s grandchildren how his legacy continues! Nearly 30 years ago, Rev. Dean Robinson noticed how families were struggling with dementia and wanted to help. What began in two converted classrooms at St. Luke's UMC - Houston is now serving 8,000 individuals annually which we hope to double with the opening of our new West campus. His legacy lives on in the number of families who continue to receive help and hope through Amazing Place! 🕊️💙
