Christina Cronin and George Timmons will assume critical roles in supporting the organization’s continued growth.
“The recent expansion of our leadership team was a crucial step in fortifying our infrastructure and these strategic new hires further strengthen our ability to operate efficiently and effectively, while providing the highest quality of care,” said Kurt Isaacson, President and CEO of Spectrum Health Systems. “In their respective positions, Christina and George will assist the organization in expanding our capacity to reach more clients through new and existing program offerings.

As Community Relations Manager, George will be responsible for developing and maintaining relationships within the community to help grow the overall census at NERC. He will also represent the center at various local conferences and events.
