Eric Wittnebel, interim CFO at Rogers Behavioral Health, has a connection to the organization that runs deeper than his career path. Having grown up in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, the city where Rogers was founded, he was aware of its presence since childhood. This history, coupled with a personal passion for mental health rooted in his early experience as a residential counselor, perfectly complements his financial expertise.

Since joining in 2016, Wittnebel has helped lead Rogers through a rapid growth trajectory, expanding from a small local hospital to operating in ten states. This expansion has been instrumental in normalizing behavioral health and providing crucial treatment to more communities.
