Hired as a staff psychologist in the mid 1960s, Cliff also worked at Lakeland Mental Health before finishing his career at the state hospital.
He will speak about the changes and challenges of working at the hospital in two different time periods. Cliff also has wonderful stories about staff and patients alike, including the Dr. William Patterson who started on the medical staff in 1912 before becoming superintendent from 1927-1968.
