Scott Kellermann

Scott Kellermann (Col ’67 L/M) recently retired from the Western Sierra clinic in Grass Valley, California, a clinic that he founded in 1986. He received the Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine’s Distinguished Alumni award in April of 2017. He was awarded a 2017-2018 Fulbright Scholarship to teach at the Uganda Nursing School, which he founded. He has recently taken a part-time position as an adjunct professor at the University of San Francisco. He resonates with the quote “the trouble with retirement is that you never get a day off.”

At the awards luncheon event, Dr. Kellermann was acknowledged and thanked by the Dalai Lama for his role as a medical missionary to the Batwa pygmies and other tribal groups in southwest Uganda. He was also instrumental in founding Bwindi Community Hospital and the Uganda Nursing School Bwindi. Dr. Kellermann’s work has been supported by the Kellermann Foundation, a nonprofit charitable organization based in Richardson, Texas.
