West Allis, Wisc. – Erik Johnston Ulland, M.D. and Azhar M. Yunus, M.D. have joined Rogers Memorial Hospital’s growing team of psychiatrists.  Both Yunus and Ulland work directly with children and adolescents in treatment, and continue working with patients as they transition through the levels of care offered at the hospital.

Rogers Memorial Hospital continued its commitment to the Milwaukee area with this addition of two new child and adolescent psychiatrists at their Milwaukee hospital. This summer, Rogers Memorial opened a 26,000 square foot addition at the Milwaukee hospital to serve its growing day treatment program for children and allowing for a new Eating Disorders inpatient treatment program for adolescents that is opening in early 2009.

Yunus is a 1999 graduate of Saba University of School of Medicine in the Netherlands, and performed his residency at the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics from 2004 to 2008. He lives in Greendale.

Ulland is a 2003 graduate of Loma Linda University School of Medicine and  performed residency at the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinic’s Child Psychiatry program from 2006 to 2008, and at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, N.H. from 2003 to 2006.  He lives in Milwaukee.

School-aged children the hospital’s fastest growing service population, accounting for a nearly 7% increase in admissions between 2004 and 2008. In its last fiscal year, Rogers Memorial provided more than 23,000 treatment days to children and adolescents with Wisconsin Medicaid enrolled in the Child & Adolescent Day Treatment Program at Rogers Memorial.
