The Edinburg Center is thrilled to announce that Stephanie Judy has been selected to receive the Association for Behavioral Healthcare (ABH) Salute to Excellence Award in Administration and Finance, recognizing her outstanding contributions to The Edinburg Center and the behavioral healthcare community.
Each year, the Association for Behavioral Healthcare hosts its Salute to Excellence, a special event honoring dedicated community behavioral health professionals from across the Commonwealth. The event brings together providers, advocates, and community leaders to recognize the compassion, commitment, resilience, and life-changing impact of the professionals working in behavioral healthcare.
The 2026 ABH Salute to Excellence Awards will be held on October 30, 2026, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Boston Marriott Burlington in Burlington, Mass. The event is expected to bring together nearly 500 behavioral health providers, vendors, executives, legislators, and community leaders to celebrate the people who help strengthen and advance community-based behavioral healthcare.
Amelia Rose Earhart, professional speaker, pilot, author, and artist, will deliver the keynote address. Known for her global flight achievement and advocacy for women in aviation, Earhart will share lessons on resilience, adaptability, and pursuing dreams in the face of challenges.
“Having Stephanie’s hard work recognized by the Association for Behavioral Healthcare is a tremendous honor and a wonderful tribute to everything she does for The Edinburg Center,” said President and CEO Patti Maguire. “People like Stephanie are an essential part of what makes our work possible. Her dedication and commitment help ensure that The Edinburg Center can continue providing critical services and support to the thousands of individuals we serve.”
The Edinburg Center congratulates Stephanie Judy on this well-deserved recognition and thanks her for her continued commitment, professionalism, and dedication to supporting the organization and the individuals and families it serves.
