AGING IN PLACE FORUM - JUNE 20, 2018 - 5 Presenter LCOG, Leslie Gilbert Leslie began her career with positions in case management with adults with developmental disabilities, and professional education about diverse learners at the University of Oregon. She has worked as the Health Promotion/Chronic Disease Prevention Coordinator for LCOG Senior and Disability Services for over three years. This position is perfect for her because her passion is patient education and empowerment. Having experienced disability her whole life, she values the opportunity to help others understand and manage their health to the best of their ability. In her position, she coordinates health education workshops called the Living Well Programs; these workshops help adults with chronic health conditions learn how to better cope with and improve their health conditions through sleep, exercise, nutrition, relaxation, and so much more. Leslie developed additional skills and knowledge when she recently completed a Master of Public Health degree from Oregon Health Sciences University. When Leslie is not working, she enjoys movies, cooking, and spending time with her partner and their dog, Charlie.
