Recovery Centers of America (RCA), a leading healthcare network of substance use disorder treatment facilities in the East, Midwest and South, announced a strategic reorganization of its facilities and the appointment of John Fisher as the new Regional Vice President for the West Region. This new structure, effective immediately, aims to enhance operational efficiencies, streamline processes and leverage regional expertise by dividing RCA’s facilities into East and West regions.

As part of this realignment, Ross Friedman will oversee the East Region, managing facilities including Devon, Raritan Bay, Lighthouse, Capital Region and Bracebridge Hall.

John Fisher, who assumed his role in July, will oversee RCA’s West Region facilities in Westminster, Danvers, St. Charles, Indianapolis, Monroeville and Greenville. In this new role, Fisher will focus on advancing RCA’s mission and ensuring top-notch patient care across the West Region.

“The new organizational structure empowers us to enhance resource optimization and prioritize delivering top-quality services across all our locations,” said Mark Puckett, Chief Operating Officer of RCA. “John Fisher’s leadership in the West Region and Ross Friedman’s continued work in the East are pivotal to our ongoing commitment to excellence in patient care.” 

Prior to joining RCA, Fisher served as Vice President of Access at Lifepoint Behavioral Health, overseeing business development, assessment, call center, transfer center, and utilization review for 24 hospitals across 10 states. Over the past five years, he held leadership roles including Vice President of Operations, Vice President of Business Development and Facility CEO at Lifepoint Health. He also served as COO of Lakeside Behavioral Health System, a 365-bed hospital in Memphis, TN. Fisher holds a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from Union University.
