As Vice President of Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Services for Foundations Recovery Network, Chad Koller oversees more than 11 facilities, responsible for providing strategic leadership, meeting operational goals and ensuring that facilities deliver high quality patient care. He brings with him a wide range of experience in healthcare leadership, including his positions as national director of operations and business development for Core Medical Group and as executive director of Life of Purpose treatment center in South Florida. Prior to that, he served for several years across the healthcare field as a director of operations, director of case management and therapist. He has served in advisory positions at Florida Atlantic University and is currently a board member for Fund Recovery. He has been featured on various news channels as an expert on the opioid epidemic and other topics related to substance use disorder.

Born in Chicago, Illinois, Chad earned his bachelor’s degree in community and public health from Middle Tennessee State University, his master’s degree in mental health counseling from Nova Southeastern University, his master’s degree in business administration from Louisiana State University, and his executive master’s degree in healthcare administration from Florida Atlantic University. He felt drawn to the world of addiction and mental health treatment because he feels strongly about removing the shame surrounding these treatable medical conditions and about helping individuals find their unique paths toward recovery. “The restorative power of recovery is amazing to behold. It is incredibly rewarding to be a part of the process in which someone can go through such transformation in a relatively short period of time,” explains Koller.

As he leads the Foundations Recovery Network team, his goal is to develop a multidisciplinary team approach that can offer the best possible treatment and outcomes for patients. In this mission, Chad finds motivation in his personal mottos: “Be in service to others” and “Leave your ego at the door.” Outside of his work, he enjoys boxing, outdoor activities and spending time with his Siberian Husky, Shooter.
