Danielle Boisvert’s connection to ALS began when her father was diagnosed with the disease in 2015. She served as his caregiver until his death in 2019. This personal experience, coupled with her doctoral work on the impact of chronic diseases on families, provides Danielle with a multifaceted perspective, which she brings to the ALS Association board.
