Christine Achre: Strategy & Tactical Expertise

Passion rarely intersects with vocation, but when it does the results can be spectacular, like an alignment of stars, and the orderly abutment of disparate puzzle pieces that make sense out of the nonsensical.  

Meet the force Christine Achre, founder and CEO of CHS Group. For 16-plus years,  Christine has worked tirelessly to highlight the critical role community-based organizations play in the health care arena. Her dedication to improving the welfare of unhoused populations is grounded in her Western Pennsylvania working-class roots, coupled with the desire to effect positive, meaningful change in the lives of others. As a young woman, Christine’s mother once experienced a period of homelessness, and Christine experienced firsthand, after her father’s bipolar diagnosis that was caused by a closed brain injury, the meaning of a successful mental health outcome when early treatment and appropriate medication have been prescribed. 

Such real-life proximity remains a driving force behind the care and concern exemplified by CHS Group’s engagement with its clients and constituent communities, and one need not look far for evidence of Christine’s expertise in providing meaningful and successful wraparound services.  

Ms. Achre has a proven track record of growing organizations and diversifying revenues, incorporating medicaid and other institutional funding.
