Michael Ross

Government Leader

Seldom do I encounter individuals who commit the totality of their heart and mind to their job. Even less often do I have the opportunity to know that person across the course of their career. I have had the good fortune to know Michael, the tireless warrior of change, since he entered the field of mental health nearly 15 years ago. There has been one consistent factor, Michael always wants to make the world better. That is why he left clinical work to move into government. To shape policy and programs In order to help Indiana become a more resilient state. Everything Michael has done over the last 7 years in government has focused on bringing the best out of his colleagues so that we can generate mental health parity and increase hope for those suffering. For this reason, Michael is my governmental hero.
