Illinois
“Our staff have been bold and brave throughout the course of the pandemic. Together, we have made some big decisions and have collectively responded to the increased demand brought on by COVID-19. We have been incredibly successful in supporting our communities and ensuring those in crisis or those facing mental health and substance use disorders are taken care of. The growing demand is still there—and meeting that demand is a big job with a lot of responsibility, but it’s one that we couldn’t be more proud to be a part of.”
John Markley, MBA | Regional Chief Executive Officer, Illinois
