Beth Wrobel
Chief Executive Officer
Beth Wrobel has been the CEO of HealthLinc since 2002, moving the organization from a free medical clinic serving adults to a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) providing a healthcare home to all life cycles, prenatal to seniors regardless of a patient’s ability to pay.

Under her direction, HealthLinc has expanded services to address the ever-increasing healthcare needs in the communities they serve. They currently offer primary medical, pediatric, OB, dental, behavioral health, pharmacy, medical-legal and community outreach services throughout their clinics, as well as optometry, chiropractic and podiatry services at some locations with the intent of expanding those services to all locations in the future. HealthLinc also has Medically Assisted Treatment (MAT) programs for those suffering from Substance Use Disorder (SUD) and Mobile Integrated Response Teams (MIRT) to deal with the expanding opioid epidemic.
