Lisa’s brother was born blind, and that was a time when there weren’t all the tools and resources that are available today. She says we’ve come so far in being able to support people to the point where they have no limitations. “It’s why I love what I do today,” she says. “I’ve seen how people can thrive when they’re given the support and resources they need. Being a part of Phonak helps to make this happen.”
