Jon Wood

CEO & President

Jonathan is a natural-born leader with a wide range of experience in diverse avenues of collaboration, from real estate development projects to wireless internet infrastructure design. He has a passion for inspired action, which has propelled him into community outreach and networking. At a time when he was face to face with the destruction of addiction, both through firsthand experience, and in facing the death of a friend, he embarked on a new venture: to build a safe, supportive space for addicts to truly recover. Through lots of planning and logistics, and many synergistic connections, all the cooperative components of this heart-felt endeavor have come together to build an uplifting environment for recovery. Jon is ever-ready to lend a supportive role in any day-to-day operations of the center, and in assisting clients throughout their stay.

Brady Schroer

Medical Director

Dr. Schroer has vast experience from all different perspectives of addiction treatment and knows what it is like to be a family member of someone struggling with addiction. He views addiction as a poor coping mechanism for past emotional pain. He strongly believes treatment and recovery improve the lives of clients and families. Dr. Schroer is extremely compassionate and prefers to educate clients about their illness. Dr. Schroer received his BS in biopsychology with an emphasis in chemistry and attended medical school at Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences. He’s learned a lot from the clients he’s treated and uses that knowledge to help others move into a peaceful life. HCANA and its clinical model are the perfect fit.
