I have had the privilege to work with and alongside Sean Walsh for over a decade at Meadows Behavioral Healthcare. Sean is a natural leader, while he keeps his eyes on the larger picture, his diligence to the day to day challenges of working in healthcare never wavered. He was always solution oriented , and a team player. While he was in leadership his respect for the team members was experienced by all from administrators to housekeeping . Yet what most know about Sean is how much he cares about the clients and their families — he went the extra mile time after time after time. Hard working and passionate , Sean will exude success where ever his profession takes him.

“I have been fortunate to work alongside Sean for more than a decade, and many of those years as part of a C-suite in a growth-oriented behavioral health company. Sean is a natural leader. Don’t get me wrong, he has spent years intentionally sharpening his leadership skills, but when he leads, it just feels natural, authentic, and relational. As a result, people respond positively, they trust him and want to go the extra mile. Sean is always learning and growing – looking for ways to improve himself and the organizations he leads. He listens to input from others, keenly assesses situations, and collaboratively implements solutions. To date, my years with Sean were the most productive and meaningful in my entire career.”
