Elisa Marks
MS, OTR/L, CEAS, CHT
Occupational Therapist
I arrived at life care planning with many years of experience as a clinician in occupational therapy and a Certified Hand Therapist. I am passionate about uncovering pathways for the traumatically injured to return to as close to their activities of daily living as possible, as well as contributing to the clinical education of my peers through publication and pre-publication review.
