🌟 Celebrating Leadership & Impact at Agape Health Services 🌟
We are proud to share that Gwendolyn Gilbert, Chief Behavioral Health Officer, has been accepted into the 2026 Cohort of the North Carolina Healthcare Foundation’s Diverse Healthcare Leaders Mentorship Program.
This highly competitive, nine-month initiative is designed to strengthen the pipeline of underrepresented leaders in healthcare across North Carolina. The program connects rising leaders with experienced executives from hospitals, health systems, and community healthcare organizations through one-on-one mentoring, peer learning, and meaningful networking opportunities that support professional growth and leadership development.
Created to ensure healthcare leadership better reflects the communities served throughout our state, this program helps strengthen equity, innovation, and responsiveness to local needs.
Through this opportunity, Gwendolyn will further enhance leadership capacity that can be brought back to Agape — supporting our continued efforts to expand integrated care, invest in staff development, and strengthen community-focused behavioral health services in eastern North Carolina.
By participating in a program intentionally focused on diverse leadership, we help elevate the voices and needs of the communities we serve — particularly those who have been historically underrepresented in healthcare decision-making.
Please join us in congratulating Gwendolyn on this outstanding achievement! 👏
