Gillian Stoltman, PhD, MPH, is a community associate professor with the Department of Biomedical Sciences at Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine in Kalamazoo, Michigan. She studied microbiology and virology at University College, London, earning a doctorate in 1979.
Dr. Stoltman joined the Kalamazoo County Health Advisory Board in the 1980s, and an outbreak of salmonella poisoning prompted Human Services officials to increase efforts to protect Kalamazoo County residents from infectious disease outbreaks.
Dr. Stoltman was then encouraged to join the county as county epidemiologist. In that role, she tackled the HIV/AIDS epidemic. After over fifteen years with the county, Dr. Stoltman joined Pfizer, then moved back to county government. She served as interim medical director for Kalamazoo County from 2014 to 2016, when she retired.
