We’re proud to announce that Relate Counseling Center has appointed Joan Twiton as our new Executive Director.  

Joan comes to Relate Counseling Center with over two decades of healthcare management experience, including six years as CEO of Fordland Clinic, a federally qualified health center located in southwest Missouri. 

During her tenure at Fordland Clinic, Joan played a key role in the growth of the organization from a single-site independent rural health clinic to a multi-site FQHC. She brings with her a focus on results-driven organizational development and operational success that aligns perfectly with Relate Counseling Centers’ mission. 

Joan holds a bachelor’s degree from Augsburg University and a master’s degree in public administration from Missouri State University. Her passion for Relate Counseling Centers’ mission and her focus on results-driven organizational development and operational success makes her a clear choice for the next Executive Director of Relate Counseling Center. 

Please join us in welcoming Joan to the Relate Counseling Center family. We look forward to her starting on May 30th!

Sincerely,

Margy Herbert, Board Chair
