“I want to make sure that no matter what your lot in life is, no matter what money you have, you have access to equal and high-quality behavioral healthcare services,” said Tolbert, 64.
While the diversion center was in the planning stages, Tolbert was a key figure in bringing together a broad coalition that included law enforcement, mental health advocacy groups, ministers, and other community leaders to discuss what type of facility was needed and develop its standards.
“I’ve worked with Maggie for over 20 years and have been so impressed with her passion and advocacy for individuals living with mental health and substance use disorders that I knew I wanted her on my leadership team when I became CEO,” Scott S. Osiecki, CEO of the ADAMHS Board of Cuyahoga County, said in an email.
“It doesn’t matter who you are,” said Tolbert, who lives in Cleveland Heights. “You’re going to still get a service. And you shouldn’t have to go 50 miles across the bridge to get that service.” Tolbert started at the ADAMHS board as a clinical nurse specialist 21 years ago. She enjoys the problem-solving aspect of her job.
