NEW COMMISSIONER JOINS DBHDD
ATLANTA - The new commissioner of the state Department of
Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) began his tenure today
by thanking the agency’s employees and committing to working closely with
consumers, their families, and service providers. Frank W. Berry was previously
CEO of View Point Health in Lawrenceville and has over twenty years experience
serving the people of Georgia. He was appointed by Governor Nathan Deal in June
to succeed Dr. Frank Shelp as commissioner.
“Over the past three years, the people of DBHDD have
created an organization founded on service and professionalism,” Berry said in
his inaugural message to the agency’s employees. “In this next phase of growth, we’ll continue
expanding access to high quality services for everyone we serve, with a focus
on strong partnerships and accountability for our providers and ourselves.”
The Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental
Disabilities was created in 2009 to focus on programs and policies benefitting
people with mental illness, developmental disabilities, and substance use
disorders.
