DENVER, Colo.—Eating Recovery Center and Pathlight Mood & Anxiety Center (ERC Pathlight), the nation’s leading mental health care system dedicated to the treatment of eating disorders and primary mood and anxiety disorders, announced Goran Dragolovic as its next Chief Executive Officer.

Building on the innovative foundation set by Dr. Weiner and our leadership teams over the last 15 years, and with the conviction that progress and evolution are never ending, my goal is to drive strategic growth and continue to improve patient outcomes in a quickly changing behavioral healthcare landscape.”
