Excellence and Innovation
She is one of four health care professionals honored in the Acenda Institute’s annual “Momentum Awards” designed to recognize excellence and innovation in the behavioral health field.
The other three winners of awards in other categories are the Senior Vice President for Population Health at Temple University, the Assistant Commissioner for the New Jersey Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services, and the founder of the Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation that works to eradicate the stigma around mental health issues in the African American community.
The Acenda Institute’s parent, Acenda Integrated Health, was established in 2019 by the merger of several behavioral health and community based service organizations in New Jersey. Headquartered in Glassboro, NJ, the non-profit operates more than 100 mental and physical health and social services programs throughout 10 of the state’s counties.
