After years of working for other people, El Cajon Mayor Bill Wells wanted to run his own company, be his own boss.
So when Bruce Hebets, the late CEO of the Borrego Community Health Foundation, offered Wells a job as staff psychologist at the nonprofit healthcare provider five years ago, the mayor had a different idea.
Instead of working directly for the foundation known as Borrego Health, Wells said, he would form his own corporation and provide mental health treatment under a contract with the Borrego Health.
“I had always had a job,” he said. “I wasn’t interested in doing that anymore and I told (Hebets) that. I wanted to start my own business.”
