Stars Behavioral Health Group
Stars Behavioral Health Group’s (SBHG) motto is “Partnering with People for Positive Change,” and without its people, this company started in 1988 would not be where it is today as a leader in behavioral healthcare. Likewise, without its leaders, SBHG would not be such an innovative, thoughtful, and well-managed company. The SBHG Board of Directors oversees and inspires more than 2,200 employees to do their best work.
