Message from the CEO 

Welcome to CDAC Behavioral Healthcare. 

Since joining CDAC in 1994, I have had the privilege of serving alongside an extraordinary team of professionals dedicated to helping others. During that time, I have witnessed countless examples of resilience, hope, and positive change in the lives of the individuals and families we serve. 

What continues to inspire me most is the commitment of our staff, partners, and supporters who work every day to strengthen our community. Their passion and dedication make it possible for CDAC to respond to changing needs while maintaining the high standards of service our community expects and deserves. 

As we look to the future, we remain focused on innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement. We are committed to building on our strong foundation while seeking new opportunities to better serve our community and expand access to quality behavioral healthcare services. 

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about CDAC. We are honored by the trust placed in us and look forward to continuing our work in partnership with the individuals, families, and communities we serve.
