Devereux Advanced
Behavioral Health Senior Vice President
and Chief Operating Officer Rhea Fernandes, Psy.D.,
was recently selected to join The
Forum of Executive Women, a membership
organization comprised of 450 of the most influential women leaders in the
Philadelphia region.
The
mission of The Forum is to “increase the number of women in leadership roles,
expand their impact and influence, and position them to drive positive change”
in their communities.
Dr.

leadership and more than two decades of behavioral healthcare experience. As Devereux’s

operational aspects of the organization’s national network, which includes 15
centers across 13 states.
“I
am thrilled and honored to join this talented and diverse group of dynamic leaders
who are not just at the forefront of their respective fields, but also deeply
engaged in their communities – driving change for good,” said Fernandes. “Devereux
has a long and rich history of empowering and supporting women in leadership
positions. From our organization’s founder, Helena
T. Devereux, to members of our senior leadership
team, women have always played a critical role in advancing our mission to
change lives. I am proud to extend that legacy as a member of the Forum to help
inspire progress in the Philadelphia region and beyond.”
