Dees has more than 20 years of clinical and leadership experience. She previously served as the director of behavioral health at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center and was charged with founding and leading the Penn Center for Opioid Recovery and Engagement team.
“I am honored to be given the opportunity to lead Family Service. Being able to commit my life’s work to our mission to listen, care, and help every day is both a privilege and responsibility that I take very seriously. My roots are in Bucks County so investing in our local community is a natural extension of my past, present, and future. I am eager to jump into all of the opportunities that await us to improve the lives of our brothers and sisters in Bucks County and beyond,” Dees said.
“The board is excited to be working with Julie to make Family Service the best it can be. We all love the mission of Family Service and believe that Julie’s leadership will get us there in a spirit of caring and professionalism,” said Gary P. Lux, president of the group’s board of directors.
