🌟 A Major Milestone for Hygea Healthcare & Innovation in Behavioral Health! 🌟
This week, Hygea Healthcare proudly hosted a national cohort of scientists, physicians, and innovators as part of the Entrepreneurial Training Program funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) — co-directed by Dr. Kelly Dunn, Ph.D., MBA.
The group visited our Hygea Middle River campus for an immersive, hands-on experience exploring how innovative care, technology, and teamwork drive meaningful outcomes for individuals living with Substance Use and Co-Occurring Disorders.
Our CEO Robby, Medical Director Dr. Elsie, and President Jordana, Program Director Patrick, Clinical Director Cyndi and Nursing Director, Sarah joined in welcoming participants, sharing Hygea’s mission, and engaging in impactful discussions on the future of behavioral healthcare. The collaboration, energy, and forward-thinking ideas in the room were truly inspiring — a reminder of what’s possible when compassion and innovation come together.
💡 A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Kelly Dunn and all participating fellows from across the country for your creativity, professionalism, and dedication to advancing the field of addiction medicine.
Together, we’re shaping the future of behavioral health — one idea at a time.
