Wisconsin
Representing: Clinicians
Jeanette Knill is a physical therapist who works in rural communities in northeast Wisconsin. She serves people with chronic pain, multiple comorbidities, and disabilities. Her focus is to help patients understand their health needs so they can be an active partner in leading the fullest life possible. Through her work, Knill has discovered that women in rural communities do not always have access to the specialists needed to treat their conditions; therefore, she is interested in finding better ways to deal with chronic pain as well as issues that impact women in rural communities such as obesity and pelvic floor disorders. She received a Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy from Rosalind Franklin University and her MBA from North Park University.
