Meet Our Chief Executive Officer
Ijeoma (IJ) Mbadugha, while she has always been interested in helping the medically underserved, the pandemic was a large catalyst in her focus shift to mental health. IJ was trained at Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science in Los Angeles, specializing in Psychiatric Mental Health across the lifespan. Her goal is to provide equitable and high quality care as the premier community resource. Ensuring compassionate, empathetic, powerful, and competent mental health services is at the forefront of her priorities.
“I believe that our patients and families deserve the best in healthcare delivery. My purpose is to help eliminate the stigma and barriers to mental healthcare and provide the highest quality and compassionate care based on individualized needs utilizing evidence-based practices.
