For Elizabeth, the change happened quickly – numbness, weight loss, slurred speech. Her health was declining until further tests diagnosed Elizabeth with a type of Multiple Sclerosis. Thanks to the dedicated staff and compassionate care she received at the Kaiser Rehabilitation Center at Hillcrest Medical Center, Elizabeth is back in the classroom teaching, living without fear, and chronicling her journey in a book she hopes will one day inspire others to make the most of the life they’re given.
