He also has a leadership role in the treatment of chronic pain patients, managing the services and modalities offered to them.

Nate uses his role and skillset to enhance and grow Caron staff across nearly every department on the Caron Pennsylvania campus. By providing adventure-based counseling for Caron staff, he has created opportunities for departments to work through challenges and gain a deeper understanding of how to thrive as a team.
