DR. MICHAEL KELLUM • Mercy Health System Walworth Medical Center
At the University of Minnesota, Michael Kellum studied chemistry. One night, he and a date watched a movie about doctors. Inspired by the film, Kellum registered for medical school the next day.
During his four years of medical school, he worked closely with a doctor conducting research. It was there that intense tutoring sessions took place, and Kellum’s medical curiosity was forever piqued.
Kellum was a pediatrician in Maine until 1982, when he shifted his specialty to emergency medicine and his practice to Chicago. Shortly thereafter, his wife called the Elkhorn Chamber of Commerce and discovered a new hospital was being built there. Two weeks later, Kellum interviewed and received a new job.

Martha Rasmus • Mental Health Association in Milwaukee County
When a parent has mental illness, the entire family can be torn apart, and children can become invisible to the social welfare system. To address that disconnect, the Mental Health Association (MHA) in Milwaukee County, under the guidance of president and chief executive officer Martha Rasmus, created the Invisible Children’s Program (ICP) to address the gap in services available to families and reduce the negative impact mental illness has on a family.
Mental Health Alliance of Rogers Memorial Hospital; Froedtert & Community Health; and Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital
Local hospitals whose main focus is on medical and surgical services can have a difficult time offering a fiscally viable behavioral health unit, according to David Moulthrop, president and chief executive officer of Oconomowoc-based Rogers Memorial Hospital.
“Behavioral health care is really an area of health care where funding is very poor,” Moulthrop said. “There are caps on typical insurance benefits, so reimbursements are often money losers for hospitals.”
Insurance companies often impose reimbursement caps for behavioral health treatment at no higher than $8,000, Moulthrop said.
