Meet our Outpatient Director: Brandon Robinson

Recovery Isn’t Linear

While our lives get better over time in recovery, the journey is never linear. Knowing this and embracing it is an extremely important part of achieving lifelong sobriety. How we battle through setbacks and tough times by turning them into growth opportunities is part of the mission at Green Hill.

Meet our Academic and Career Coordinator: Hayat Shawwa

I love when our clients share their academic successes with me, such as getting into a school, graduating from a program, or making a good grade on an exam or paper. Hearing from them makes me realize that I’d made enough of an impact that they thought enough of me to still keep me updated.

Meet Our Development Director: Jake Summers

Meet Our Admissions Director: Wendy Kimball

I spent a number of years working with individuals in recovery doing post-treatment monitoring, which really cemented my belief in the importance of an extended continuum of care.
