Meet Our Team

Knowing at an early age, his passion resided in helping people, Patrick Slattery began his career more than 30 years ago at KidsPeace, a large behavioral health nonprofit organization headquartered in Pennsylvania. His first role was as a direct care counselor in a residential treatment program serving youth with mental health and/or intellectual developmental disabilities/autism. After 8 years of providing direct care and leadership, Patrick transitioned to administrative and various leadership roles in Business Development, Customer Relations, Contracts, Billing, Communications, Public Relations, Creative Services, and fundraising ultimately culminating his tenure as the Vice President of Marketing and Business Development. Mr. Slattery then accepted the role of Chief of Specialty Programs with the renowned Maryland nonprofit, Sheppard Pratt Health System until family tragedy brought him home to care for his parents in their final year of life. This challenging time presented a crossroad which gratefully led to his recruitment to join CMU now known as Pathways Forward. Mr. Slattery holds a B.A. in psychology from Lock Haven University and an M.B.A. in finance and marketing from DeSales University. Married with two adult children, Patrick loves to stay in good health, travel, play golf and spend time with family, friends and our energetic puppy “Stormy” and sweet cat, “Honeybee”.
