Brittany Venable
Chief Financial Officer
Brittany has been a dedicated member of Lakeland’s team since 2016, progressing through a series of financial leadership roles including Materials Management, Accountant I, Accounting Manager, and Controller before being appointed Chief Financial Officer. She brings a comprehensive understanding of healthcare finance and a deep commitment to supporting the mission of behavioral health care through responsible fiscal leadership.
Brittany earned her Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a concentration in Accounting in 2020. She is known for her thoughtful leadership, attention to detail, and strategic approach to aligning financial operations with patient-centered care.
Beyond her professional accomplishments, Brittany is a passionate advocate for mental health. She believes that mental health affects everyone — often silently — and that conditions like anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, and suicidal ideation are far more common than acknowledged. Her commitment stems from a personal understanding that every interaction is an opportunity to show compassion and reduce stigma. As a leader, she strives to foster a culture where mental health is openly supported and never overlooked.
As a wife, as well as a mother of two teenage daughters, Brittany brings both empathy and purpose to her role — guided by the belief that supporting mental wellness is not just a professional responsibility, but a deeply human one.
