    Lisa Doggett

    Lisa Doggett, Chief Medical Officer, Sendero Health Plans

    About the Program:

    As a family physician directing a clinic for uninsured patients in Austin, Dr. Lisa Doggett believed her white coat kept her safely on the other side of illness - until a diagnosis with MS changed everything. In an engaging, visual presentation, Dr. Doggett will reflect on her unexpected journey from doctor to patient and read selections from her memoir, Up the Down Escalator: Medicine, Motherhood, and Multiple Sclerosis. Through stories of vulnerability, parenting, caregiving, and resilience, she will share how illness deepened her gratitude, sharpened her understanding of the health care safety net, and pushed her to live with greater urgency and purpose.
