Hazel And Betty Ford Foundation Strategic Plan 2020-2025
The Hazel and Betty Ford Foundation's strategic direction centers on evolving addiction treatment by integrating virtual care and telehealth, expanding outpatient services, and adopting new therapies derived from brain science research. The plan reiterates the core value of in-person treatment and 12-step programs. It outlines a strategy for organizational growth, including investment in facilities, technology, and staff, while navigating industry consolidation through advocacy and policy leadership. Education for addiction counselors and medical professionals, alongside sustained philanthropy for research and scholarships, are critical components to ensure broad access to quality care and maintain leadership in the field.
