Chad Isabelle, Friendship Health

Friendship Health, a provider of skilled nursing and post-acute care, has added a new name to the top of its organizational chart.

The Roanoke, VA, provider just named Chad Isabelle as the new administrator of its Rehab South Facility. Prior to taking this post, he served as regional VP of operations for American Healthcare, which has seven facilities in Virginia.

Isabelle is a member of the Virginia Health Care Association’s Quality of Care Committee, as well as its Regulatory Committee, and the larger American Health Care Association’s Multi-Facility committee. He studied health services administration at James Madison University, and served in the U.S. Army for eight years.

“Our team is very excited about the leadership Chad will bring to Friendship with his focus on residents,” Ben Higgins, director of operations of Friendship Health, said in a press release. “Having worked with Chad at American Healthcare, bringing on someone of his caliber and experience puts Friendship in a terrific position to take our services to a new level of quality.”
