Black Hawk-Grundy Mental Health Center, Inc.
Welcome to the Center!
Our History:
In 1949, a group of citizens on the Social Services Council in Black
Hawk County began discussing the need for a mental health center in
our community.
These discussions began as a result of the growing recognition that the
mental health needs of this community were not being adequately met.
These meetings facilitated by Opal Fore, a visiting social worker from
the Iowa Mental Health Authority and Glenda Mabrey, a teacher with
the Waterloo Public Schools, and Blair Wood, the Black Hawk County
Attorney, resulted in the election of the first Board of Directors in
December 1949.
In the following months, a great deal of planning and activity took place
to prepare for the opening of the Center. According to Glenda Mabrey,
“it was a cross section of the whole community, everybody was
interested...we really did this on faith and a prayer.”
