Dear Coalition Members and Partners:
I am extremely pleased to announce, with tremendous excitement and on behalf of the Board, that Amy Dorin has been appointed as the President & CEO of The Coalition for Behavioral Health. In her short tenure as Interim President & CEO, Amy has brought her wealth of experience in the behavioral health field and her high energy to The Coalition. I am also pleased that Jason Lippman will continue in his critical role as Executive Vice President.
Amy, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a graduate of the Columbia University School of Social Work, has spent her entire career in the health and human services arena as a clinician, administrator, executive and consultant in hospitals, government, and nonprofit community-based organizations. At the Mayor’s Office of Operations, Amy held the position of Deputy Director for Health and Human Services. At FEGS, she was the Senior Vice President for Community Behavioral Health. In this position she led a large network of mental health treatment, recovery, residential, care coordination and health home programs serving more than 25,000 people annually throughout NYC and Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Under her leadership, FEGS received the 2013 Suicide Prevention Award from the NYS Office of Mental Health’s Suicide Prevention Center and the 2002 Eli Lilly Award for Behavioral Healthcare Leadership in Time of Disaster, after 9/11. Amy is the recipient of the 2015 Cognitive Remediation in Psychiatry Conference’s Science to Practice Award. She is a Fellow at the New York Academy of Medicine and the Vice Chair of Vibrant Emotional Health’s Professional Advisory Board.
Amy has already reached out to many of you to ensure that The Coalition is fully responsive to the needs of its members and the clients they serve and would welcome your reaching out to her as well.
Please join me in congratulating Amy on her new role!
Sincerely,
Mitchell Netburn
Chair, The Coalition for Behavioral Health
