Lori Schultz receives Art Wunsch Award
Art Wunsch was a dedicated Board Member at Newaygo County Mental Health from 1986-2007. During that time, he was a strong advocate for serving the client, reducing stigma and developing programs that met their individualized needs. As a recognition of Art’s dedicated service, in 2010 Newaygo CMH created the Art Wunsch award. The Annual award recognizes people in the community who exemplify endless passion and dedication in the promotion of client involvement, empowerment, and the reduction of stigma for those who have developmental disabilities, mental illness and/or substance use disorder. Previous recipients of the award include Art Wunsch, Dr. Robert Gunnell, Gabrielle Blackwell, Ada Linderman, Senator Geoff Hansen, Tyler Slaughter, Gerard Deschaine, Cheryl Parker, Michael Geoghan, Adele Hansen, Kathe Scott and Colleen Quick. The 2023 recipient of the Art Wunsch award is Lori Schultz, former Newaygo County DHHS director. Ms. Schultz retired in February, 2023 after 35 years of service to the County. Newaygo CMH Execituve Director Carol Mills: “Lori has always been a tremendous advocate for children and meeting their needs. She worked tirelessly to improve their lives through counseling, food, shelter and safe parents. Lori never hesitated to implement programs that helped families in Newaygo County. We at Newaygo CMH hope she enjoys a fulfilling well-earned retirement.”
