"We have over 100 board members because we feel it’s important to have representation in all of our communities.” In this episode of the Catalyst Podcast, we sit down with David Gomel, CEO of Rosecrance Behavioral Health, to explore the evolution of behavioral health care over the past 30 years.  David shares insights into the challenges and triumphs of leading a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing comprehensive care across multiple states. We discuss the impact of managed care and private equity on the field, the flexibility of their hybrid business model, their ability to pivot as an organization, and the role of AI in therapy. We delve into the complexities and innovations shaping the field today, the many things that make him proud of the work Rosecrance's dedicated staff does in the face of daily challenges, what made him fall in love with the field three decades ago, and how his passion remains undimmed.
