Ken Papenhagen
March 2023, appointed to the MCMHA Board
Why did I want to be on the MCMHA Board?
I support people with mental illness in acute care. I believe I can make a positive impact with my knowledge and experience at MCMHA. Delivery of care and the tearing down of the stigma of receiving that care weighs heavily on my mind.
Occupation & Education:
- Sr. Manager of Mission Services (chaplain’s department), ProMedica
- Pastor at Dundee Community Church of the Nazarene
- Undergraduate degree from Eastern Michigan University
- Master of Divinity from Nazarene Theological Seminary (Kansas City, Missouri)
- Board Certified Chaplain from the Association of Professional Chaplains
More about me:
Ken and Laura have lived in Monroe County for 30 years. Their sons are both graduates from Dundee High School. Ken is a veteran of the Gulf War (USMC) and the Iraq War (Michigan Army National Guard).
