We are proud of the leadership team we’ve assembled and look forward to their continued contributions to improve the lives we touch."

Krasner has been named chief marketing officer for Summit after previously serving as the executive vice president of Business Development.

In his new role as CMO, Krasner will lead and implement Summit's overall marketing strategy, focusing on continuing the company's growth trajectory and increasing its visibility in the marketplace.

Kim Brady has been named chief human resources officer for Summit. In her previous role as senior vice president of Human Resources, Brady expanded the Human Resources department to support the company's rapid growth.

Brady will continue to oversee the growth and development of the Human Resources department, ensuring that Summit attracts and retains top talent.

Summit has also recruited John Flanagan and Jeanne Sands to the leadership team.

Flanagan, vice president of Development, joined Summit in December 2022. He brings leadership in strategy, planning and growth guidance for substance-use disorder initiatives. He has more than 30 years of experience developing and expanding behavioral health systems and networks and opening new inpatient facilities and outpatient programs with a national footprint. Above all, Flanagan recognizes Summit’s commitment to delivering quality, evidence-based treatment and care to its communities.

Most recently, Sands served a large health system delivering key digital, EHR, imaging and system strategies while improving the patient and clinician experience.
