John Hogeboom has worked within the Community Bridges, Inc. (CBI) system of care network since 1994 and currently serves as the President/CEO. Prior to this, John served as Deputy CEO for two years and as the Chief Operating Officer (COO) for the 11 years prior. During his 25-year career in the integrated behavioral/medical health care field, Mr. Hogeboom has gained considerable experience leading clinical operations, quality management, peer support, and medical practice. He enhanced existing programs and developed new programs that have impacted communities and now support agency growth and sustainability.
During his tenure as COO and Deputy CEO, Mr. Hogeboom’s primary focus was on the building of sustainable and meaningful models of care in areas of Arizona that have lacked access to behavioral health services. He and his team have served as the chief architects of the strategy and execution of community-based systems of care which have increased the availability of crisis and general behavioral health services to underserved rural communities throughout Arizona in partnership with local law enforcement, hospitals, tribal and county governments.
In addition to focusing on rural areas, Mr. Hogeboom has been successful in the development of the Access Point and Transition Point models in Maricopa and Pima Counties which provide 24/7 evaluation services to the general community and serve as a police drop-off and short-term crisis residential/hospital step down unit (developing the first community psychiatric emergency center (CPEC) in the East Valley).
In 2019, Mr. Hogeboom became the President/CEO of Community Bridges, Inc., an Arizona private non-profit agency with over 1,600 employees delivering the full continuum of Integrated Behavioral Health services across 31 separate programs across seven counties in Arizona. CBI’s continuum currently delivers over 200,000 episodes of care per year through Crisis, Inpatient, Residential, Housing, Peer Navigation, Women and Children’s Programs, Prevention, Homeless Outreach, Forensic Assertive Community Teams, Medication Assisted Treatment, Patient Centered Medical Homes (PCMH) and Community Education. Mr. Hogeboom’s commitment to the mission and purpose of CBI remains his guiding light to support the talented and innovative staff that make CBI a true community partner.
John Hogeboom has a Master’s Degree in Business Administration from the University of Phoenix and a Bachelor’s Degree of Science Administration of Justice from Arizona State University. He is a Licensed Independent Substance Abuse Counselor (LISAC).
