Gateway prides itself on hiring the most credentialed, qualified, experienced and compassionate team members throughout the organization. We know first-hand that the quality of care delivered, is based on the quality of the person delivering the care. From our Board and CEO to our counselors and psych techs, everyone in the organization has been hand-picked and has undergone a thorough evaluation before joining our team. Many of our team members are in recovery as well and have experienced what our patients and families are going through. We believe in a servant-leadership philosophy which means that no matter what position someone has, we are here to serve those around us.
