Lending a helping hand to others is the most rewarding aspect of Dana Bohnenstiehl's role as Community Relations Representative for Gateway's Caseyville Treatment Center. "I will never forget the first time I saw a person graduate from Gateway. The look on his face and his family's expressions really moved me. Knowing that I helped them get to this moment of renewed hope - it was quite remarkable."
To break down barriers standing between individuals abusing drugs and entering treatment, Dana is always on the go. "My car essentially is my office. I spend a great deal of time traveling throughout southern Illinois and Missouri to meet with medical professionals, social workers, lawyers and teachers to ensure reliable substance abuse resources are available to those who need them most."
Dana graduated from St. Louis University with a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration. In her free time, she particularly enjoys outdoor pursuits with her family.
