SBJ Editorial Director Eric Olson, right, interviews Burrell Behavioral Health CEO C.J. Davis on Nov. 20 for the monthly 12 People You Need to Know live interview series. Davis got a room full of hands in the air when he asked who in the audience knew someone affected by mental health issues. During his first year at Burrell, the behavioral health care provider increased patient volumes by nearly 20 percent and grew its budget to $125 million.
