The Wright Center Adds Milford Therapist to Board

A licensed therapist and University of Scranton professor has been appointed to The Wright Center for Community Health Board of Directors.

Krisy Elrod, Ph.D., LMFT, RPT-S, a resident of Milford and a patient of The Wright Center, brings a unique set of skills to the board. A marriage and family therapist and a registered play therapist-supervisor, she has more than a decade of experience in delivering whole-person medical care. She represents Pike and Lackawanna counties as a Pennsylvania Association for Play Therapy Board Member.

She supervises clinicians and develops training programs as an assistant professor in the University of Scranton’s counseling and human services department. Elrod also has experience with managing community-based projects and grant-funded initiatives that have raised awareness about mental health and cultural humility. As a breast cancer survivor, she has a deep passion for advocating for trauma-informed health care and working with organizations that champion integrated, compassionate health services.

Elrod’s interest in developing integrated behavioral health services and increasing access to affordable, high-quality, whole-person health services aligns with The Wright Center’s mission.

“Joining The Wright Center for Community Health Board of Directors offers an important opportunity for me to contribute meaningfully to a community-focused health care organization that reflects my values,” she said. “I am excited to collaborate with fellow board members and community partners to promote innovations in care delivery and improve the well-being of patients and clinicians.”
