As Judge Ted Capeheart steps down from approximately 22 years of service on the Birch Tree Communities Board of Directors, retired mental health professional Sharon Cagle is confirmed as a newly elected member of the board.  

Sharon Cagle is a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) and Diplomate of Clinical Social Work (DCSW) with extensive experience in the state’s mental health system. Cagle worked in behavioral health serving in multiple roles, including Director of Services for Southeast Arkansas Behavioral Healthcare for more than two decades.

Cagle graduated from Hazen High School and received a bachelor’s degree from Arkansas Tech University. She continued her education at Tulane University, receiving a Master of Social Work. Cagle retired from Southeast Arkansas Behavioral Healthcare in 2011.

“We are extremely grateful for Judge Capeheart’s service and thrilled to have Sharon join the amazing group of dedicated professionals serving on the Birch Tree Communities Board of Directors. Each of the board members is committed to our mission, supporting members on their journey to a more satisfying life,” said Dr. Brad Hollway, CEO. “Her education and experience will be a beneficial addition to enhance the board and positively impact our organization.”
