Fairfax is proud to honor and congratulate Robert Weir, MD, Chief Medical Officer, for being named to the Becker’s “CMOs to Know” list. Congratulations, Dr. Weir!

As Chief Medical Officer of Fairfax Behavioral Health System, Dr. Weir oversees clinical operations across three inpatient campuses and a rapidly growing outpatient network. He leads the medical staff and is responsible for patient safety, quality of care, medical education, utilization review and community outreach. He also serves as a voting member of the Medical Executive Committee and sits on the governing board.

Dr. Weir brings the unique advantage of dual board certification in neurology and psychiatry, allowing him to bridge medical and behavioral complexity. He has revamped inpatient admission criteria and provides neurologic consultation for complex cases that previously required outside referral.

During his first year, the system increased the main campus census by 13% while reducing patient aggression rates to a two‑year low. He collaborated with quality leaders to implement a validated outcomes tool and nearly doubled completion rates compared to the previous measure. Today, 92% of patients show clinically significant improvement on the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale during their stay.

Dr. Weir opened two new inpatient units—one serving vulnerable adults and one for adolescent males—addressing historically underserved populations in Washington State. He also expanded outpatient access.

Beyond Fairfax, Dr. Weir was appointed by the Washington State Legislature to a statewide task force, serves on the executive committee of the American Psychiatric Association’s Climate Change and Mental Health Caucus, and holds the rank of Major in the U.S. Army Reserve.

Strengthening partnerships with schools is one of the most meaningful parts of our work—and testimonials like this remind us why it matters so much.

A counselor from Burlington‑Edison High School recently shared their experience after referring a student to our Virtual Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). As behavioral health needs continue to grow—especially in rural communities—our goal is to make accessing care faster, easier and more supportive for both families and the professionals who serve them.

Our Director of Rural Outpatient Initiatives, Tasha Clements, is actively partnering with school teams across rural regions to ensure students are connected to timely, high‑quality outpatient services without long waits or unnecessary barriers. We’re honored to be a trusted resource for educators, families and communities—and we’re committed to continuing this work statewide.

If you’re a school leader or counselor seeking more information about our virtual adolescent services or rural outreach efforts, we’d love to connect.
