Investing in people

Investing in people

We have invested in our staff, and will continue to do so, ensuring that we have the right people, positions, structure and training to address  our clients’ broad healthcare needs holistically, proactively, and with coordination.

Upgrading technology

Upgrading technology

We have invested in upgraded technology to communicate more meaningfully with healthcare providers throughout the community via a state-of-the-art electronic health record, which is essential for addressing the complex healthcare needs of our clients.

Creating space

Creating space

We have invested in the right physical space: in July 2014, Recovery Resources will relocate its Ohio City operations to a beautiful campus in Old Brooklyn – a building designed to support the delivery of physical and behavioral healthcare with enough space to invite other providers to join us in this effort.

Many of you reading this report have already stepped forward to support these efforts, and we thank you. We hope that those of you learning about them for the first time will be similarly inspired.

It is with pride and gratitude that we present to you Recovery Resources’ 2013 Annual Report, the first to be electronic.

The theme of this year’s report, “Partners in Health, Partners in Hope,” reflects some significant undertakings by the Agency in 2013 in long-range planning and brand positioning. As you see a new logo, tagline, website and electronic annual report, you are in the midst of a creative demonstration of our message for the coming years.

We are committed to working in partnership with others, because no one person or entity can do all that is needed. Our partnerships with our clients, with each other, with our volunteers, funders, donors, sponsors, colleague agencies and other community partners – this is the platform upon which true and sustained change will occur. Thank you for being our partner.

Recovery Resources is blessed in many ways:

  • a Board that brings an entrepreneurial spirit and unwavering support to the organization
  • a staff whose talent and passion are unparalleled, and who refuse to be satisfied by  the status quo
  • community partners who consider it an obligation and a privilege to contribute to the  health of this community
  • clients whose commitment to health and to life is resolute

It is in the context of these gifts that we are confident we can be both your partner in health and your partner in hope.

As we celebrate our 59th year of service to the community, we want to thank each of you for the honor and privilege of being your partner. It takes a community to support a community, and we remain ever grateful for your confidence in us.

Recovery Resources – Your Partner in Sound Financial Management

We continue to be mission-centered with an unwavering focus on increasing capacity, serving with excellence, and maintaining exceptional stakeholder satisfaction.

As part of that mission, the Agency made excellent progress during 2013 in thoughtful long-range planning. One of the goals that emerged from this planning was to “Strengthen Financial Flexibility to Maximize Performance and Sustainability” – which directs us to plan meaningfully for our current state, as well as for our future state.

To ensure that we remain a fiscally healthy and responsible organization in the present, we continued to prioritize diversifying revenue streams, maximizing the draw-down of all contracts, attending to the administrative practices that support income optimization, and carefully controlling expenses.
To assure a vibrant and well-sustained future, Recovery Resources invested in areas that will prepare us for the realities of transformative changes in health care service delivery and reimbursement.

We made investments in the people, technology and physical space that will enable the delivery of integrated and holistic services to members of our community, because that is what they deserve, and that is what the future demands. The Agency is pleased to have delivered $282,255 worth of services to individuals without a means to pay for their care, and is committed to growing our income-generating initiatives to ensure our ability to deliver uncompensated care each year, as necessary.

Recovery Resources is proud to be your partner in exemplary financial stewardship, and is grateful to the many supporters who make the work we do possible.
