People helping people.

We’re small
but mighty.

Wendy R. Lewis

Chief Executive Officer

Wendy has a Master’s in Nonprofit Leadership from Seattle University and a BA in Political Science from the University of Louisville. She and her husband, Daniel, a filmmaker and attorney, live in Philadelphia.

What Wendy loves best about the Council:
“This community is gracious, filled with grit and generosity of spirit. I love interacting with family members, especially carepartners. Even with the daily challenges of navigating the impact of Parkinson’s, they’re grateful for resources and support. That puts everything in perspective for me. I feel hopeful knowing we are helping people battle Parkinson’s.” 

Her message for everyone with Parkinson’s:
“Your life will change, but with education and resources, you have the power to shift with the changes and respond to them in a positive way. This is also a good time to reconnect with your friends and family and create a community to help with your Parkinson’s journey.”
