I look forward to supporting Tower Behavioral Health’s journey of building a culture of compassion, and service with high standards for clinical excellence. Tower Behavioral Health’s growth over the past 2.5 years has been tremendous, and I am excited to lead the continued expansion of services to meet the needs of the community we serve,” said Pacini.
The new CEO succeeds Stephanie Lee, on the heels of her promotion to Division President, Specialty Operations of Acadia Healthcare. Lee adds, “I had the pleasure of working with Jenna when I was at Belmont, and I am confident that under her leadership, Tower Behavioral Health will continue to expand our strong foundation and work to improve our growing system.”
