The McWilliams Family Legacy Giving Society
The McWilliams Family Legacy Giving Society honors Kendria McWilliams, MBA, whose transformational leadership reshaped Maryville Integrated Care and inspired a lasting vision of healing for generations to come.
Appointed CEO in 2011, Kendria grew Maryville from a struggling agency into a thriving nonprofit, expanding services from primarily substance use disorder treatment to fully integrated care – substance use, mental health, and primary health services. Under her guidance, Maryville now serves more than 12,000 individuals annually through inpatient, outpatient, and community-based programs.
Kendria’s behavioral health and social services career spanned more than 40 years, including leadership roles with major hospitals, nonprofits, and numerous state and regional boards. Her voice shaped policy, improved access to care, and advanced equity in treatment.
The McWilliams Family Legacy Giving Society is both a tribute to Kendria’s extraordinary contributions, and an invitation for you to extend her legacy by making your own.
“When I look at Maryville today, I see more than programs and buildings. I see lives renewed, families restored, and communities made stronger. My hope is that through the McWilliams Family Legacy Giving Society, we can ensure this work continues long after us, so that every person seeking recovery and well being will always find care, dignity, and hope at Maryville.”
– Kendria McWilliams, MBA
