In 1966, Jamie Barwick was born to Elaine Barwick. While only a few days old Jamie became very ill.

Elaine’s love for her son, and her realization that services designed to meet his needs were not available in the area, combined with her compassion to help others, resulted in Hills & Dales’s establishment in 1973.

The organization was founded with the belief that ever individual has a right to personal development in an atmosphere of love and affection.
