Guest: Kelly Piacsek

May is National Mental Health Awareness Month, so we are honored to have Dr. Kelly Piacsek as our guest to talk about the latest developments in mental health treatments, awareness and overall wellness. Kelly has over 25 years of R&D experience in an executive capacity that includes overseeing global product developments and research organizations, research collaborations with mental health systems and academic medical centers all over the world, and managing clinical, translational and research laboratories in Northern Illinois and Wisconsin.

Kelly established the Rogers Research Center in 2020 which oversees research strategy and operations across the Rogers system. We know Dr. Piacsek better as the President of the Waukesha School Board, and she has been a champion for young women pursuing science and technology careers, having established programs that encourage STEM engagement at the elementary and middle school levels.
