As Central Massachusetts continues to reel from the impacts of the ongoing opioid epidemic, Isaacson has leveraged his position as the head of Spectrum to provide services to as many patients as possible in as many locations as possible. The healthcare organization is the sixth largest human services nonprofit in the region and generated $123.60 million in revenue in fiscal 2024.
Over the past year, Isaacson has overseen Spectrum as it has opened several new facilities in addition to the organization’s 40+ inpatient facilities, outpatient centers, residential programs, and peer recovery locations. After purchasing a building in Worcester’s Main South neighborhood in 2023, Spectrum is in the process of fully renovating the location to hold two outpatient programs, further expanding the organization’s footprint into an area of the city in great need. Increasing access outside of Central Mass., Spectrum has purchased a 56,000-square-foot facility in Lowell to provide further treatment support to yet another high-need location.
In an attempt to streamline access to care and centralize operations, Isaacson led the relocation of Spectrum’s corporate headquarters from Worcester to a new 38,000-square-foot facility in Westborough next to its 11,000-square-foot admissions center.Â
