]]> After 22 years of dedicated service, John Delaney will retire as Executive Director of Lakes Regional Community Center on July 23, 2025. His leadership helped grow and strengthen our mission across the region, leaving a legacy of service we deeply value.

At the May board meeting, the Board of Trustees appointed Wayne Vaughn as the next Chief Executive Officer of Lakes Regional. Wayne joins us from Pecan Valley Centers for Behavioral and Developmental Healthcare, where he served as Chief Financial Officer.

During his time at Pecan Valley, Wayne led in several key roles, including Chief of Compliance and Director of Clinical Services. He brought strategic oversight to both administrative and clinical operations and consistently championed high standards of care and accountability.

The Board chose Wayne for his wide-ranging experience, steady leadership, and strong alignment with Lakes Regional’s mission. His deep understanding of behavioral health systems and hands-on leadership style will help guide Lakes Regional forward.

We welcome Wayne to the Lakes Regional team and look forward to working together as we continue serving our communities with care, integrity, and purpose.
