Visionary health leader to visit Boise State in February as Grosz Lecture distinguished speaker
A doctor known as the “nation’s psychiatrist” will make a house call on Broncos this winter — and it’s likely he’ll deliver a strong dose of actionable advice during the College of Health Sciences next, free, Carl and Jean Grosz Health Sciences Lecture.
Neuroscientist and psychiatrist Dr. Thomas Insel is a national leader in mental health research, policy and technology. He served as director of the National Institute of Mental Health from 2002 until 2015 before going on to lead technology development for mental health care at Verily Life Sciences. He is chairman of the board at Steinberg Institute and co-founder and executive chair of Vanna Health, which works with community partners to help people with serious mental illness in their recovery.
He authored the book Healing: Our Path from Mental Illness to Mental Health, published by Penguin Random House, and was a founder of MindSite News, a non-profit digital publication focused on mental health issues.
