Lisa was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in March 2020, just as the pandemic was starting. That diagnosis brought her and her husband back home to Hawaii, where they had both grown up. Almost immediately, Lisa dived into HPA activities and quickly recognized the value of support groups, which create a sense of empowerment, reduce feelings of isolation, and deepen understanding of treatments and options for Parkinson’s disease.
Lisa’s other interests include working with the written word (she has more than 40 years of experience), supporting search and rescue (she was a volunteer K9 handler in California), and spending time with family.
