Edward Maguire is a behavioral health executive with more than forty years of leadership in premier provider organizations: non-profit, private and governmental. Joining clinical expertise to business acumen, Ed has advanced the goals of city, regional and national behavioral health organizations. By developing innovative, high-benefit programs and services, Ed has led these organizations to deliver care creatively, with best practices and within fiscal constraints and system expectations.
As Regional Director for Alternative Behavioral Services (ABS) and Psychiatric Solutions Inc. (PSI), the largest operator of owned/leased freestanding psychiatric inpatient facilities, Ed Maguire oversaw a comprehensive continuum of behavioral health programs and services for critically ill children, adolescents and adults.
Before ABS & PSI, Ed led the Child Guidance Resource Centers for sixteen years. As President & CEO, he built a behavioral health organization widely respected for clinical innovation and cost effective care. Earlier, as Clinical Director of the Atlantic Mental Health Center (Atlanticare), he revitalized and redesigned administrative and clinical operations to strengthen a highly utilized crisis intervention/ emergency service in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Among other duties, he also was responsible for an impaired physician's rehabilitation program and participated in the establishment of an Employee Assistance Program. These jobs grew out of his twelve years of experience as a leader in the Philadelphia Probation Department, ending as Director of the Treatment Service Division.
Raised in suburban Philadelphia, Ed's education began with the Sisters of Mercy who taught him to read and write properly at Waldron Academy and Saint Denis School. At Malvern Prep the Augustinians taught him to think critically and to appreciate his Catholic heritage and its traditions. As a boy he played sports, delivered newspapers and became an Eagle Scout; from these experiences Ed learned the life lessons of teamwork, persistence and integrity. His marriage of thirty-five years has taught him the benefits of fidelity and partnership.
Following Penn State and a Master's in Social Work at Temple, Ed then studied the management of non-profit organizations at La Salle's Business School.
Charged with the responsibility of leading Saint John Vianney Center, Ed's focus is on advancing the organization's important mission of restoring Priests and Religious to health and further services in the Church.
