Remembering J.C. Stromberger
|
The recovery community lost one of its greatest champions with the passing this past week of John Carl (J.C.) Stromberger, former executive director of Lifetime Recovery, previously known as the ARC, the Alcoholic Rehabilitation Center of Bexar County.
J.C. led the organization for more than nine years until his retirement in 2011. During his tenure, he led the effort to professionalize the clinical staff by employing licensed counselors and seeking new avenues of revenue for the non-profit organization. He enhanced credibility with a rebranding effort in changing the long-held name of the ARC, to San Antonio Lifetime Recovery. In doing so, he acknowledged the ever-changing causes of addiction from that of alcohol use disorder, to the wide-spread use of other drugs and chemicals. |
J.C. held in his heart the desire that every person who sought help from Lifetime Recovery would regain a healthy, productive life free of the ravages of addiction. By ensuring that the organization remained a viable member of the community through local and state advocacy efforts, he enhanced Lifetime’s financial stability which guaranteed that no person would be turned away from treatment for lack of financial resources.
Lifetime Recovery owes its growth to the foundation established by J.C.’s leadership and deep commitment to the mission of bringing hope to the hopeless and restoration of health not only to the individual, but to the well-being of our entire community. Hundreds of people have achieved restored health, employment, and family relationships due to the helping hand extended by J.C. Stromberger.
We, the Lifetime family are saddened by his loss, but grateful for his legacy. We extend our deepest sympathies to his wife Eleanor, his son Scott, and all his loving family and friends.
