The Dooley House was founded in 1988 by Mr. Emery Troy and Rev. Calvin Wallsten.  Dooley House's doors opened in December of 1989.   

   Dooley House, Inc. is a nonprofit organization established  to provide a holistic continuum of care to medically fragile infants, children, adults and families with a particular emphasis on those stricken with HIV/AIDS.

   Through an integral network of support services, we strive to meet the medical, social, educational, housing, and other needs to the ever-changing communities we serve.

   The common denominator for the diverse range of individuals we care for is to enhance their quality of life by providing a safe haven for personal and family growth, filled with love and rooted in dignity.   

   As of 1997, Dooley House accepts medically fragile children and incorporated various programs such as the Hogan House, Peer Mentors, and Special Medical transportation into their dream to better accommodate the needs of the growing community.
