Susana Deltoro has served as a foundational leader at the Houston Recovery Center (HRC) since its inception 2013. With a robust background in nonprofit operations and clinical counseling, she was instrumental in building the agency’s clinical department from the ground up. As one of the original team members, Susana co-created HRC’s signature 18-month recovery program, which has provided long-term, stabilizing support to individuals experiencing homelessness, substance use disorders, and co-occurring mental health conditions in Houston’s most underserved communities.

Over the years, Susana has successfully led and managed multiple programs within the agency, earning a reputation for operational excellence and compassionate leadership. As Chief Operating Officer, she has overseen strategic planning, program development, staff training, compliance, quality improvement, and interagency collaboration. Her leadership has helped HRC expand its reach, strengthen partnerships with local law enforcement, healthcare providers, and social service agencies, and establish a trauma informed, client-centered culture across all levels of care.

Beyond her role at HRC, Susana is a committed community leader. She holds a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling and is dually licensed as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) in Texas.

Suzanne Jarvis previously held the position of Executive Director for Living Forward Alliance where she developed and led an awardwinning personal growth and re-entry program for incarcerated women in addiction treatment.

She volunteers for the Houston Recovery Initiative as the Recovery Advocacy Committee Chair. Her most recent advocacy project is a documentary called Generation Found. Her role as Associate Producer helped lead the Houston community in making and funding the film.

Suzanne presented with Greg Williams at the 2014 American Public Health Association National Conference on the impact of films on public health. In October 2016 she was awarded the Distinguished Advocate award by the Houston Chapter of the Texas Association of Addiction Professionals.

For over 20 years, I have been employed in a diverse healthcare setting. As an EMT paramedic, working in the community, hospital floor care, as well as private practice allows me to bring the medical perspective and insight that helps bridge our frontline program with emergency department staff. I also integrate health care information and referrals into HRC’s mission to empower and educate the at risk population we serve and to provide assurance that help is available to them. My goal is to continue to make connections with the community hospitals and 1st responding agencies because it is imperative that we connect and build relationships that allows us to come together, work together and learn from each other so we can victoriously combat the alcohol and other drug crisis in our city and save lives.
