Meet the (amazing) team behind our work.
Founding Board Members
In 2015, an idea to bridge the gap between a person’s decision to pursue recovery and an available treatment bed brought the following six people together on a journey of creating what is today known as Doc’s Recovery House. Facing numerous barriers trying to make this vision a reality, the team below brought the vision to light in February 2019, after four years of dedication, hard work and commitment to making recovery more accessible to those ready to start the journey.
