Emmy-Nominated Journalist Transitions from the Newsroom to the PT Treatment Room

School of Health Sciences Student and Entrepreneur Lisa Gleason Integrates an Understanding of Human Connection, Movement, and the Nervous System to Advance Her Career in Physical Therapy

After nearly two decades working as a journalist and television producer on major networks such as CNN and Disney, Touro University School of Health Sciences Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) ’28 student Lisa Gleason is redefining what it means to tell a story through the lens of physical therapy. What began as a career rooted in uncovering truth and building trust with people she was interviewing has grown into a deep passion for understanding the connection between the human body, movement, and healing. As this Touro student prepares to advance her physical therapy (PT) career, she is blending her expertise in storytelling with clinical training to better understand how people move and why, bridging the gap between science, human experience and a high level of patient care.
