We’re excited to welcome Tammy Battle, RN, to the Talbot Health Services family as our new Director of Nursing.

Tammy brings over 30 years of nursing leadership to our team, with deep experience in mental health, addiction medicine, and Opioid Treatment Programs. She has spent her entire career serving this community with excellence, compassion, and a true servant-leader heart.

She’s known for her integrity, her steady leadership, and her ability to guide teams through change while keeping the focus on patient care, safety, and clinical quality. Tammy is passionate about reducing the stigma around mental health and addiction and making sure every person who walks through our doors is treated with dignity and respect.

We’re grateful to have her on board and excited to see the impact she’ll make on our clients, our team, and the community. Welcome to Talbot, Tammy! 💙

We’re excited to welcome Dana to the Talbot family! She’s stepping in as our Director of Compliance and Safety Officer, and we’re grateful to have her experience, passion, and heart on our team. We’re looking forward to seeing how much she helps us grow and continue serving our community.

Here are a few words from her:

“My name is Dana Pavel and I am the Director of Compliance and Safety Officer at Talbot Health Services, where I help guide organizational systems, uphold safety and compliance standards, and support the delivery of ethical, meaningful clinical care. With a strong foundation in social work values and trauma-informed practice, I am committed to fostering environments where both clients and staff can thrive.

I am a graduate of the University of Toledo and hold a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Social Work degree. I have provided clinical care across the lifespan, with specialized experience in trauma treatment, as well as working with individuals, couples, and families. These experiences continue to shape how I approach agency operations and reinforce my dedication to high-quality client support.

Talbot’s mission is deeply personal to me. I bring both lived experience and clinical training to my role, grounding my decisions in empathy, responsibility, and the belief that positive change is always possible. I was taught early on that having a seat at the table is a privilege and a responsibility, and that mindset still guides me today: serve the mission first and stay connected to my “why.”

Originally from the Cleveland area, I’ve lived in Lucas County since 2006. Outside of work, I’m engaged to be married in early 2026, I’m a dog lover and softball player, and I’m passionate about music—from metal to the 19 Dave Matthews Band concerts I’ve attended. I’m also committed to social justice and cherish the relationships I have with my sisters and nieces. I’m excited to continue growing both my family and my life in a community I love.”

We’re excited to welcome Melissa Steingraber to our Talbot Health Services family on Main Street. She’s already fitting right into the culture we’re building, and we’re grateful to have her leading our team.

Here’s a little about Melissa in her own words:

“Hi, I’m Melissa Steingraber — born and raised in Lucas County and proud to be serving the community that raised me. I’m a Southview grad and the new Director of Operations for our Main Street location at Talbot Health Services. This work is personal to me. I’m someone in long-term recovery myself and will celebrate 10 years sober in February 2026. That journey taught me compassion, accountability, and the power of community, and it’s why I’ve dedicated my life to helping others find the same freedom and stability recovery gave me.

At Talbot, I get to work alongside an incredible group of people who truly care about delivering high-quality behavioral health services with genuine human connection. I’m proud of the supportive environment we’re building.

Outside of work, I’m a wife and mom first. My husband and I celebrate six years together this December, and our two little ones — five and three — are my whole world. Sobriety gave me the chance to have the family I always dreamed of, and I don’t take that for granted. When I’m not working or chasing my kids around, I’m usually with family. We do weekly dinners on both sides — Thursdays and Sundays — and those moments keep me grounded.

Coming back into the substance use field at this point in my life feels exactly right. I’m excited to bring both my personal journey and professional experience into this role and help make the client experience at Talbot the best it can be.”

Please help us welcome Melissa — we’re blessed to have her on this journey with us. 🙌💛

Had the pleasure today of having lunch with the D.A.R.T. Unit — Steve, Carl, and Brandon.
What these guys are doing for our community is an absolute blessing. We need more people like them — boots on the ground, showing up, caring, and putting in the work every single day. Without leaders like this in the trenches, I can’t imagine what our community would look like.

Thank you, gentlemen, for all you do. 💪👮‍♂️
