Heather Brown: Thank you and thank you so much for having me. I really appreciate it.
Susan Kleiner: Oh no, it’s great to have you. So I know that recovery Village at Cherry Hill is kind of new. Maybe you could tell us some more about it and what it’s been like for you since you joined.
Heather Brown: Sure. So we are a, a, a newer facility under the umbrella of advanced recovery Systems, which has multiple facilities throughout the US, but we are the one and only in New Jersey. We had the great honor of opening in the middle of COVID, so, so there wasn’t a huge splash. We couldn’t do an open house and we sort of opened pretty quietly. But we have been here for the past 3 1/2 years just working with adults who are struggling with substance use disorders.
