Luana Murphy, MBA from Pepperdine University, is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Exodus Recovery, Inc. She is the co-founder of Exodus Recovery, growing it from a single managed inpatient chemical dependency unit to the 58 programs that exist today at 39 program sites in Fresno, Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego Counties.

Each year, Exodus assists more than 60,000 individuals on the path to health and well-being throughout the state.

Ms. Murphy’s healthcare career encompasses administrative positions within acute care hospitals, running an HMO (Health Maintenance Organization), creating strategic partnerships with other healthcare provider organizations (medical groups and FQHCs, to name a few), and establishing a non-profit, Exodus Foundation, which supports Exodus Recovery as the entity responsible for housing assistance to Exodus clients and other means to help them reach their life goals. Exodus also operates both Interim and Permanent Supportive Housing, including the 172-bed, groundbreaking Safe Landing Model in Los Angeles County. She was intensely involved in the MHSA stakeholder process and ensured that Crisis Stabilization Units (CSUs) were funded under MHSA. She served as Co-Chair of the Los Angeles County Alternative Crisis Response Committee and currently serves on the California Governor’s California Interagency Council on Homelessness Advisory Committee.

She and the company are dedicated to improving the healthcare delivery system until it is available to all our friends and neighbors equally.
