Abstract
The Association for Behavioral Health and Wellness (ABHW), the national voice for payers that manage behavioral health insurance benefits for over 200 million people, announced Sept. 10 that ABWH president and CEO Pamela Greenberg will retire after 26 years at the helm of the association. Debbie Witchey has been appointed the next president and CEO, effective Oct. 1, 2024. Greenberg plans to retire in November 2024. Under Greenberg's leadership, ABHW successfully advocated for numerous policy changes that have positively impacted the delivery of mental health and substance use disorder care, from the development and approval of national behavioral health billing codes to the passage of the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act and changes to substance use disorder privacy laws that allow care to be better integrated and coordinated. Witchey most recently served as executive vice president and chief operating officer at the Healthcare Leadership Council (HLC) where she cultivated productive board relations, member recruitment and retention, strategic planning and financial oversight activities in addition to advocating for all sectors of the health care industry in lobbying Congress on key issues affecting HLC members, including access and coverage, population health and Medicare.
