It takes the best of what we do and who we are and shares it with like-minded organizations that have the same philosophy and commitment to treating patients and improving outcomes.” Bob Poznanovich, Executive Director of Business Development and Community Outreach, Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation.
Kristin Garbett, Founding Partner, CRAFT Connect “We are grateful for this exciting opportunity to build on what we are already doing, providing virtual ongoing support to families who have a loved one with substance use or mental health disorders,” John Garbett, Founding Partner, CRAFT Connect. “We view this partnership with the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation as validation of the effectiveness of the Model of Family Care that energizes and reframes the connection between providers, families and a struggling loved one into an effective “therapeutic alliance”.

Leading healthcare organizations that share our philosophy and pursuit of excellence are perfect partners for us as we work together to implement the strategies and systems needed to address this most pervasive of health conditions”, writes Poznanovich.
