He retired because he was of retirement age\, and he wanted to consult\, travel\, and complete his “Bucket List.” \nIn college undergraduate school at Lamar University in Beaumont\, Texas\, Mike worked in the evenings at the Baptist Hospital.

Mike responded\, “When I was 38 years old. The Board of Hendrick Medical Center\, a 400 Bed Hospital\, selected me to be the CEO of that Institution. I took a risk at that young age to undertake that task. With the help and support of my wife\, Kathy\, the Boards at Hendrick\, and my colleagues at Hendrick\, I enjoyed all 24 years as the President and CEO. In retrospect\, I realize what a risk it was for me to undertake that position at such a young and inexperienced age.” \nWhen Mike retired\, his bucket list included travel and continuing activity in the field. He serves on four boards\, serves as a volunteer concierge at Baylor University Medical Center on Gaston Avenue every Thursday morning\, is a mentor in the ACHENTX Mentorship Program\, and is just about to complete his Bucket List.

My two grown daughters\, their husbands\, and our four grandchildren enrich my life.” \n  \nRegister Now!

For 29 years\, he has worked as a national leader in two major health plans\, developed his own brand of systematic case review and team-based care in his clinic (The Hopper Group)\, and has contributed to the expansion of knowledge regarding the issues facing Psychiatry in the next iteration of health care delivery. His passion through the years remains\, simply\, the refinement of targeted\, effective\, and systematic solutions for conditions hidden by shame\, guilt\, and misunderstanding. \nDr. Hopper contributes to several organizations pushing forward best practices for Psychiatric care\, overall health\, and wellness. He is the Chair of the APA Medical-Behavioral Integration Committee. “The Argument to Payers for Funding Collaborative Care” is a critical personal authorship and collaborative output of the committee this year.

He led or co-led early models of integrated telephonic care management and medical provider-specific psychotropic use education.
