Meadows Behavioral Healthcare

“When I first came to The Meadows it was to get a temporary job while I went back to college while switching careers. In a very short time, The Meadows changed my educational focus to nursing and changed my life forever. Twenty-one years later, that temporary job has become a home. The people here are some of my best friends and extended family. I love my job and the people that I work with, and I get to watch lives change forever every day. There is no reward greater than seeing the impact you have on a daily basis.” -Allan Benham, COO, Meadows Behavioral Healthcare

“There are so many reasons that I am happy to be a part of The Meadows professional staff. I spent years working in community mental health before being hired at The Meadows Inpatient in 2008. During those years in community mental health, I honed my therapeutic skills yet was not given the opportunity to fully do the experiential work that I knew would help my patients move forward to a life worth living. I had to work within time constraints and, due to managed care, would only be able to see patients once or twice a month. I yearned for a way to truly help patients become their better self. The Meadows has allowed me to do this. The Meadows supports therapists in honing their skills and in continuing their education in therapeutic techniques that are evidence-based and ground-breaking in helping patients change old habits and to develop life-long coping skills in order to live the authentic life they deserve.” -Joyce M. Willis, Therapist, The Meadows Outpatient Center-Scottsdale
