About Wellspring
Beneath the historical surface of its starting point, the conception of Wellspring was like any other - a moment in time, a place where genealogical lines converge, and where among all possible events that could have taken place, this one did.
Wellspring is very excited to announce the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer, Pete Mumma, beginning June 30, 2025
Pete brings to Wellspring more than 33 years of experience enhancing and transforming behavioral health and substance use disorder treatment across inpatient, residential and a full continuum of outpatient settings across New England and the Mid-Atlantic region. Most recently, Pete served as the Vice President of Clinical Operations, Behavioral Health for Hartford Healthcare Fairfield region. Prior to that role he served as the President and CEO of the Phoenix House New England and the Senior Vice President and New England Regional Executive as part of the national Phoenix House organization. In addition, Pete has held numerous senior leadership positions at regional hospital and healthcare systems, including LifeBridge Health, Penn Medicine/Lancaster General Health, The Oaks Behavioral Health Hospital and the University of Maryland’s Medical System.
Pete holds a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from Goucher College, a Master of Science in Applied Psychology from the University of Baltimore, and a Master of Business Administration in Healthcare Administration with a dual concentration in Healthcare Finance from York College of Pennsylvania.
Pete’s appointment marks a significant milestone for Wellspring as we continue expanding our reach and enhancing care quality. Please join us in welcoming him to our team!
“We are thrilled to welcome Pete to the Wellspring organization, one that’s rich in a history of delivering positive outcomes to the individuals and families we serve.
