History
Crisis Nursery of Champaign County was incorporated on December 14, 1983 - the culmination of work began in 1981 by a nurse at McKinley Health Center and a social worker at Burnham Hospital. The Nursery was established as a not-for-profit, tax deductible organization, licensed by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services. Initial housing for the Nursery was in a wing of the now-closed Burnham Hospital. Old House on Park When Burnham closed in August of 1992, the Nursery relocated to a house donated by Presence Covenant Medical Center at 1409 E. Park Street, Urbana. Presence Covenant Medical Center also generously offered in-kind support of utilities, food, laundry and security. The Nursery expanded its prevention services by providing 24-hour, 7-day-a-week crisis and emergency care services to assist struggling families in the community. The Nursery moved to its current home, 1309 W. Hill Street, Urbana, in February 2001, doubling its space and capacity to serve.
