In this episode, we sit down with Mark Salchak, a respected voice in the Akron recovery community and one of the driving forces behind Summit Recovery Hub.
Mark Salchak’s story is one of resilience, faith, and redemption. After years in real estate, his life took a different path marked by both heartbreak and hope. A near-homeless encounter on church steps and the later loss of his son became defining moments that shaped his calling to walk alongside others inrecovery.
Mark went on to develop REACH, a peer support initiativethat became a foundation for much of Summit County’s recovery community. Today, through his work with the Summit Recovery Hub, he continues to advocate for people rebuilding their lives with dignity, compassion, and connection.
Mark’s story is one of grief turned to grace, pain transformed into purpose, and a man who refuses to give up on people, continually reminding others of their dignity and worth.
