This unit provided inpatient, outpatient and continuing care services to newly recovering alcoholics and addicts. During his tenure there, he received his M.S. in Counseling from MCV.

In 1996, the Waynesboro Community Hospital and the Staunton Hospital (King’s Daughters) merged to one facility, Augusta Medical Center in Fishersville, VA. John Penn moved into this new facility and worked until he transferred to Region Ten Community Services Board, in Charlottesville, in 1999.

While with Region Ten, John Penn worked as a provider for outpatient services facilitating groups for adults in early recovery. He also provided individual and couples counseling for mental health. In addition, John Penn worked as a Program Manager, supervising direct services staff, both administratively and clinically.
