Chief Executive Officer

Organizational Overview:The OpportunityA not-so-small miracle has taken place over the past ten years in Southwest Oregon. Building on a legacy of over 50 years of service, the people of Adapt Integrated Health Care have quietly built a health care powerhouse, integrating science, compassionate care and innovation to promote the health and well-being of individuals, families and communities in Douglas, Josephine, Curry and Coos Counties, the four southwesternmost counties in Oregon.In 1971, Adapt began offering addiction treatment and prevention in its hometown of Roseburg, Oregon. Since then, Adapt has continuously expanded its services to include primary care and mental health as well as addiction services. Growth over the past decade has been remarkable, as indicated by the chart below. Importantly, that growth has been a byproduct of Adapt’s approach to community health, not a goal or strategic driver in and of itself.Adapt has been led for the past decade by Dr. Greg Brigham, a board-certified clinical psychologist and Fellow of the American Psychological Association. In late September, Adapt’s board of directors shared news of Dr. Brigham’s decision to retire by May 2025, prompting the current search for his successor. Adapt’s next CEO will inherit an organization with significant momentum: Operating revenues of over $80 million, a highly motivated staff of over 500, and a growing, intersecting array of primary care, mental health and addiction services provided through multiple locations across the region. The organization has an unusually strong balance sheet, with most of the funding in place for a new 40-acre campus in Roseburg expected to break ground in the first half of 2025, permitting consolidation of many services and expansion of others within one purpose-built campus.Perhaps most importantly, Adapt has earned the trust of the people it serves, the partners, agencies and departments it collaborates with, and the regulators who monitor its quality. Adapt may look quite different from what it did a decade ago, but the values that drive it have remained consistent: professionalism, caring, accessibility, excellence, respect, innovation and integrity.The OrganizationAdapt Integrated Health Care is a CARF-accredited nonprofit serving the people of rural southwestern Oregon. While Adapt describes itself as “an Oregon leader,” the organization’s reputation is in fact national.
