Centria Autism has named Garett Jackson as its incoming chief financial officer, with a stated start date of August 31, 2026. Available public search results did not independently confirm that the appointment took effect.
August 31, 2026, is the stated start date for Garett Jackson to become Centria Autism's chief financial officer. The Farmington Hills provider said he will oversee finance as the national Applied Behavior Analysis organization expands across the United States.
Centria's announcement describes Jackson as a healthcare finance executive with experience in multi-site companies, hospital systems, private equity structures and joint ventures. No independent official statement from Centria Autism or Jackson appeared in the available search results. The start date and transition details therefore come from the company announcement and remain unconfirmed elsewhere.
Centria's headquarters are in Farmington Hills, a city in Oakland County. That city is separate from the neighboring City of Farmington and from Farmington Public Schools. Each is a different public entity with its own municipal or education responsibilities. The Farmington Hills city portal provides local government information.
Jackson's healthcare record
Jackson most recently served as CFO of Intuitive Health. The multi-site provider combines emergency rooms with urgent care services and works with hospital systems nationwide.
During his time there, Jackson helped guide Intuitive Health through its 2024 sale from Altamont Capital Partners to Great Hill Partners. That is the latest stated transaction tied to his operating record.
Public search results show separate legal and corporate reporting about Great Hill Partners. They do not establish a connection between that activity and Jackson's appointment at Centria Autism. An SEC filing identified from the same period also could not be reliably tied to Centria or Jackson based on the information visible in the search result.
The record is not fully independent.
Before Intuitive Health, Jackson was senior vice president and CFO of Kindred Healthcare's hospital division. The division operated more than 65 long-term acute care hospitals across the United States and generated more than $2 billion in revenue.
His background also includes board work. Jackson served on multiple joint ventures between Intuitive Health and hospital systems. He also held independent board positions with several multi-site healthcare organizations.
Those board duties covered executive compensation, audit, compliance, revenue cycle, organizational design and operations. That mix of operating and governance work gives Centria a finance chief familiar with healthcare networks and the day-to-day work behind them.
His stated responsibilities include tracking revenue cycles, reviewing expansion and maintaining oversight across multiple locations. Centria remains an active operator and employer in the ABA-services sector. Current job listings alone do not confirm the status of a corporate appointment.
Focus on financial discipline
Jackson said Centria's work with children with autism and the families who care for them was a major reason he wanted to join. He pointed to the progress children make through compassionate care and to the effect that progress has on their families.
In the new role, Jackson said he will work to protect Centria's financial health as the organization supports responsible growth across the country. He also said expansion should stay tied to clear business goals as healthcare and business conditions change.
The appointment does not announce a new facility, service or acquisition. It adds a senior finance executive whose stated duties include helping Centria assess growth and maintain financial oversight.
No further details have been provided about specific expansion plans, financial targets or changes to local operations in Farmington Hills or elsewhere in Oakland County.
The scope remains unclear.
Centria's care model
Centria Autism is headquartered in Farmington Hills, a suburb of Detroit. It provides Applied Behavior Analysis therapy for children with autism and their families. The organization says it continues to advance ABA science through its Foundations of Care model.
The model centers each client. It uses Practical Functional Assessment and Skills-Based Treatment, or PFA-SBT, to shape treatment goals.
Centria says those goals reflect each client's aspirations and developmental needs. The company describes its care as compassionate and trauma-informed. It also says the approach respects the dignity and value of every person served.
The headquarters address does not mean the City of Farmington Hills, Oakland County administration or the City of Farmington operates Centria's clinical services. Those governments have separate responsibilities from the private healthcare provider. Regional public information is available through the Oakland County government portal.
Jackson is a Certified Public Accountant. He earned a bachelor's degree in accounting from Bellarmine University.
His stated start date gives Centria a defined point for bringing his healthcare finance and board experience into its national operations. Available reporting did not independently confirm that the transition occurred.
For Centria, the appointment links its national ABA footprint with a CFO who has worked in large hospital operations, healthcare transactions and multi-site governance. The title alone will not show whether the move succeeds.
The clearer test will be financial discipline during expansion. Centria will also need to maintain the individualized care model it describes as it continues serving children and families.
