Oconomowoc, Wis. – Peter M. Lake, MD, medical director of Rogers Memorial Hospital in Oconomowoc, will be the honorary chair of the Rogers Memorial Hospital Foundation’s 15th annual golf outing.

Lake is also the medical director of Child and Adolescent Services in Oconomowoc and The Child and Adolescent Center, a specialized treatment facility for children with severe mental illness. He is also co-founder of Rogers Memorial Hospital’s Challenge Camp, a summer-time day camp for children with mental health and behavioral concerns.

“Dr. Lake is a natural choice for this honor,” said Marion Heinz, executive director of the Rogers Memorial Hospital Foundation, “His commitment to the hospital, the foundation, and children is a gift. We are so grateful for his leadership and dedication.”

Challenge Camp is an opportunity for children ages 9 to 13 dealing with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, anxiety or related disorders to improve their self-esteem, social skills and sense of personal responsibility.

Camp staff guides children through fun activities that help them develop personal skills needed to deal with their behavioral health challenges.

This year’s camp is limited to two sessions of about 40 participants. Head over to the Challenge Camp Web site to find out more and to download registration and information documents.
