Continuing the series spiral with emerging adults with mental illness at the center, along the outbound curve, we experienced a parent, a high school teacher, primary care and emergency doctors, and community services. Now we arrive at mental health providers in the person of Michael Macht Greenberg, who administers an integrated system of mental health medical services, McLean Hospital, of the preeminent healthcare system, Mass General Brigham’s Hospital. I met Michael working together at Boston Children’s Hospital. Michael was the administrative director of the Department of Medicine, and I led the patient/family experience initiative. We both left Boston Children’s more than ten years ago. As circumstances allow, we still meet for coffee at least quarterly, in person or virtually. Michael’s low-key presentation belies his passion and compassion for emerging adults and people with mental illness.
