Renee, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, has been serving or supporting individuals in need of behavioral health care for over 30 years. She spent the first half of her career in direct practice serving youth and families, many of whom were engaged in the child welfare system, and she received training on multiple evidence-based therapy models. As the community-based agency grew and expanded over the years, Renee’s role also evolved into training and supervision of other clinicians and leading company-wide quality improvement initiatives. In 2019, after 15 years with a statewide comprehensive behavioral health organization, Renee was promoted to executive lead of the organization. As the Vice President of Operations, Renee had clinical and operational responsibility for ensuring 10,000 members, many challenged with serious mental illness, received high-quality behavioral health treatment and crisis support.
Renee is currently supporting 2 Clinically Integrated Networks in Arizona comprised of 10 behavioral health integrated care companies as the Vice President of Network Operations at Alera Health. She is excited to use her clinical knowledge and operational skills to assist these networks with refining their workflows to ensure members are engaged in treatment, and receiving timely health screenings and the highest quality of care possible.
