In this episode of 'The Association Spotlight Series', Lake Morehouse chats with Mark Drennan, CEO of the West Virginia Behavioral Healthcare Providers Association, about a significant proposal on the table.

He shares insights into the potential challenges and opportunities this restructure could bring. With a focus on improving services, Mark expresses a readiness to adapt to any new framework.
Whether you're a professional in the field or someone impacted by these services, this episode offers a clear and engaging look at what lies ahead. Tune in to understand how this legislative move might shape the future of healthcare in West Virginia.
