Wendy White has been CEO of Face It TOGETHER since 2020. Wendy enjoys promoting wellness with those she encounters and helping change the narrative around addiction. She’s focused on creating a sustainable organization with innovation and financial rigor. Her favorite things are watching the growth of team members and hearing stories of hope and wellness from our members. Creating a workplace culture that focuses on the importance of health and wellness is a critical component of her job.
Prior to joining the Face It TOGETHER team, Wendy worked in healthcare for almost 20 years. She focused primarily on supporting clinicians and patient outcomes through the use of clinical systems. Wendy has a bachelor’s degree in biology and clinical lab science (ASCP) and a master’s in business administration.
Wendy stays busy with her husband, four kids and four dogs. She enjoys camping and boating with her family for as long as the weather allows. She finds peace and self-care through yoga, exercise and the support of close friends. She loves to travel, but with four kids it means long road trips. Looking toward retirement, Wendy and her husband plan to live on a boat and complete the Great Loop.
What is Face It Together?
Face It TOGETHER is a peer-based nonprofit focused on data, science, and getting people well from addiction. They address addiction differently by supporting those with addiction and loved ones in a safe, non-judgmental environment.
About 20 million Americans suffer from addiction. Almost 90% of them are missed every year by today’s system. The human and financial consequences are enormous, affecting every sector of society. And for every person with addiction, about three to four loved ones are directly impacted.
Moreover, drug and alcohol addiction is at the root of a wide range of challenging social problems and is inextricably linked to our quality of life, the strength of our economy and the safety of our communities.
