Dedham, MA – Riverside Community Care, a nonprofit leader in behavioral healthcare and human services, announced that its Board of Directors has appointed Vicker V. DiGravio III as President & CEO, effective July 1, 2024.

“On behalf of our Board of Directors, we are pleased to announce Vic as our next President & CEO, the third CEO in the organization’s long history,” said Joe Wadlinger, Board President. “In his three years as Riverside President, Vic has proven himself a respected leader with significant insight into the landscape of behavioral healthcare and human services. I know he will ably guide Riverside’s important and impactful work.”

Before coming to Riverside as President in 2021, DiGravio served for 12 years as President and CEO of the Association for Behavioral Healthcare of Massachusetts and then as Vice President for Strategy at eHana, a health information technology company.

DiGravio noted, “We’re at a pivotal moment in our field, with many opportunities and challenges ahead. We continue to tear down barriers to care, but the need for services continues to be great. Because we are strong in spirit and commitment, I am confident that Riverside will meet those needs and continue to lead in the fields of behavioral healthcare and human services for years to come.”
