Barbara Rhodes is currently the Director of Utilization Review at Peak View Behavioral Health. Barbara has over 7 years of experience in the behavioral healthcare field. Prior to their current position, they were the Manager of Network Relations at Beacon Health Options and a Project Manager at AspenPointe.
