Wendy Danicourt named CEO of Heartview Foundation

Wendy Danicourt has been named chief executive officer of Heartview Foundation, according to an Oct. 1 news release from the organization. She will assume the role Nov. 3, succeeding Kurt Snyder, who announced his retirement earlier this year after 23 years with the foundation.

Heartview Foundation, based in Bismarck with facilities in Dickinson and Cando, is North Dakota’s oldest private, nonprofit alcohol and drug treatment program. Danicourt brings more than 20 years of leadership in behavioral health and addiction treatment. She most recently served as CEO of Danicourt Group and has held senior roles at Walmart Inc., Brave Health, Riverside Recovery of Tampa and Operation PAR Inc.

Darrell Nitschke, board president, said in the release that Danicourt’s “experience and dedication to this field will be a tremendous asset to Heartview and the communities we serve.”
