Why do you believe the local hero should be recognized or honored?

Randy Moraitis founded CarePossible in 2013 after years of working in the mental health and addiction arena and observing how so many people, desperate for help, were unable to receive help simply due to a lack of funds. Randy’s vision is to make mental health and addiction care possible for anyone who is ready and willing for support.

Randy was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award, voted on by his peers, for his body of work in the mental health and addiction field. In addition to serving as the President of CarePossible, Randy is also the pastor of the nationally acclaimed Lifelines Recovery Program at The Crossing Church which has over 400 attendees each week. Previously, Randy served as Executive Pastor at The Crossing Church, as a pastor and operations manager at Mariners Church, and as a longtime business owner in Laguna Niguel, CA.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the local hero?

As part of a military family Randy is very passionate about supporting the needs of veterans and military family members. Randy’s belief is that because our veterans and their families sacrifice so much for us, they deserve the very best of care when they are in need.

Thank you for all you do, Randy Moraitis!
