Dr. Mildred Mitchell-Bateman, M.D., F.A.P.A., has received the
Solomon Carter Fuller Award from the American Psychiatric Association. As the winner of this year's award, she presented a lecture Oct. 4 during the 60th Institute on Psychiatric Services in Chicago. Her topic was "Mental Health Services: Still a Challenge." A West Virginia physician since the 1940s, Bateman has served in multiple roles including superintendent of Lakin State Hospital, director of the state Department of Mental Health, and founding chair of Marshall's Department of Psychiatry. Her distinguished career includes serving as one of four members of the President's Commission on Mental Health and as vice president of the American Psychiatric Association. A long-time advocate for those with mental illness, she has received numerous local, state and national honors for her contributions to mental health care. Bateman, although retired, remains a member of Marshall's part-time faculty and continues to see patients. According to the APA, the award honoring Fuller, the first black psychiatrist in the United States, is presented to a black citizen who has pioneered in an area which has significantly benefited the quality of life for black people. |
