Gettysburg, PA (March 7, 2025)—As behavioral health organizations face growing financial pressure, leadership teams are increasingly focused on building stronger financial management systems that support stability, scalability, and long-term sustainability.

To explore practical strategies for achieving this balance, OPEN MINDS will host an Executive Roundtable, Financial Mastery For Behavioral Health Leaders: The Hope Group Case Study, on March 16, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. ET, featuring Josh Gardner, Chief Operating Officer & Chief Financial Officer of The Hope Group.

Mr. Gardner will share how the organization integrates financial metrics, budgeting tools, and performance dashboards to guide decision-making—while aligning hiring, incentives, and organizational culture with financial strategy.
