Dr. Linda Hryhorczuk
Ethel and James Flinn Foundation
Dr. Linda Hryhorczuk, a seasoned psychiatrist and advocate, is returning to the Ethel and James Flinn Foundation’s board of trustees to help expand access to critical mental health services in southeast Michigan. With decades of experience in both child and adult psychiatry, she brings a deep understanding of the challenges facing the region — particularly the urgent need for more comprehensive mental health support for children and families. As a board member, Dr. Hryhorczuk will help guide funding decisions for innovative mental health initiatives while advocating for policies that prioritize access to care.
Dr. Hryhorczuk first joined the Flinn Foundation’s Board of Trustees in 2010 and served until 2018. She was originally recruited through her involvement with the Mental Health Association. When she completed her service on the board, she remained a firm believer in the foundation’s mission: to fund innovative mental health initiatives that help people access critical services. She credits fellow Board member Chief Judge Freddie Burton, Jr. with encouraging her to rejoin, and she is looking forward to lending her expertise in psychiatry to help shape funding decisions.
