Coming Home by: Elizabeth Robertson
Born and raised here in Kerrville, I use to drive by La Ha on my way to the river in high school and make jokes and throw beer bottles at the old wooden sign. So when I admitted as a patient in May of 2000, I thought it rather ironic. I was 23, lost and confused. La Hacienda gave me hope by introducing me to the 12 Steps and life in recovery. Coming back home 11 years later is a true gift and blessing. Not only do I get to breathe the La Ha spirit and beautiful Hill Country in every day, I get to work with an amazing group of people here. As the Director of Business Development I have the privilege of leading a team of diversely talented and respected community outreach reps in Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, Austin and Boerne. Our department is often the first face and voice that many of La Hacienda’s referral sources see or hear. We are here to serve the respective communities and nation by providing information to mental health professionals so that addicted patients and families can know about our services. We are also here to be a trusted resource for those in the community, both for alumni and professionals. It’s so good to be home! Grateful and Blessed! E
