Message from the Board Chair
Dear Friends,
Over my 12 years of sobriety, I learned about the power of kismet. My dictionary defines it as destiny or fate. When I am open to it, positive kismet flows my way. The same can certainly be said for Hanley Foundation.
Without our knowing, for the past few years, kismet has been preparing Hanley Foundation to be made whole again, reuniting us with Hanley Center, the organization we founded 40 years ago.
The way was paved with disconnected but meaningful stepping stones. We added seasoned operating executives to our leadership, reorganized our workforce to break down silos, expanded and upgraded our financial reporting and management systems, broadened our board of directors, and deepened our roots with supporters of our mission.
The combined effect of all these paths was two years of capital funding appropriations from the State of Florida totaling $3 million, and capital campaign commitments several times that amount from the reinvigorated board and our inner circle, making the purchase of our current home possible.
Now, as we integrate the Hanley Center back into Hanley Foundation, we bring the tremendous benefit of operating a residential treatment center with our longstanding nonprofit ethos back to Florida. We focus on achieving the highest efficacy of treatment plans specifically tailored to the needs of each patient.
Under the foundation’s management, Hanley Center will offer an extended period of post-treatment protective care, away from accumulated triggers of habit, people, places, and things. We will revolutionize recovery – leading to lives that are not just sober, but high-functioning, contributing members of society.
We humbly recognize the significance of this extraordinary opportunity. In this era of commercialization of medicine, it is rare, perhaps unheard of, for an addiction treatment facility to go from nonprofit to for-profit and back to nonprofit again. We believe it’s kismet.
Your board of directors, management team, and medical and operational staff are personally committed to the success of this big step toward eliminating addiction.
We at Hanley Foundation are committed to this. Will you join us?
Chip James
