Peter Bolo, MD

Medical director, Atlantic Behavioral Health, and Atlantic Health System resiliency advocate

Peter Bolo Bolo, MD, heads up psychiatry for Atlantic Health System—a mid-sized health system in Northern New Jersey—where he has been for over 20 years. His clinical interests include inpatient psychiatry, complicated mood disorders, behavioral disturbance in dementia, and electroconvulsive therapy.

In the past 2 years, Dr. Bolo has pivoted to also serve Atlantic as resiliency advocate, focusing on the well-being not only of the physicians but of all 17,000+ team members. He coined the title “resiliency advocate” to emphasize that he is of, with, and for the people—rather than of the C-suite.
