Lisa Dougherty's passion and dedication is what attracted me to MFN. She is inspiring and has created an organization that will improve the health and care of many people dealing with medical issues and more. Here is a description from the MFN website:

"The Medical Fitness Network (MFN) is a free online resource directory for people to locate fitness & allied healthcare professionals who provide services for those with chronic disease/medical conditions, including but not limited to: Alzheimer’s, Arthritis, Cancer, Diabetes, Fibromyalgia, Heart Disease, Mental Disorders, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s, Respiratory Disease, Stroke and women’s health issues including pre & postpartum care."

PLEASE read the articles/blogs and read how MFN can help you or a family member. If you are a fitness professional, I highly recommend becoming a member of the MFN team.
