Shelp heads new Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities
 Dr. Frank Shelp Shelp is a 2006 alumnus of the UNC Department of Health Policy and
Administration, now the Department of Health Policy and Management at
the Gillings School of Global Public Health.
The new DBHDD began operations on July 1, 2009, and is part of a
larger reorganization initiated by Perdue. DBHDD assumes most of the
responsibilities of the former Department of Human Resources Division
of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Addictive Diseases.
"Thanks to the leadership of Governor Perdue and the General Assembly,
people in Georgia who have behavioral health issues, developmental
disabilities and addictive diseases now have an agency that's solely
focused on supporting their wellbeing and independence," Shelp said in
a DBHDD news release.
In addition to the Master of Public Health degree from UNC's school of
public health, Shelp earned a Doctor of Medicine from the Medical
College of Virginia, in Richmond. His post-graduate training included a
residency in psychiatry at Duke University Medical Center.
Shelp was part of the earliest initiative between John Umstead Hospital
in Butner, N.C., operated by the N.C. Division of Mental Health, and
the Duke University Medical Center Department of Psychiatry. The
initiative eventually established the state psychiatric hospital as a
partner with the university in research, residency training and
clinical care.
Before going to Georgia, Shelp was vice president of medical affairs
for First Health Services Corporation of Glen Allen, Va., and served as
corporate medical director for behavioral health at United HealthCare
of Minnesota.
