Tammy Gilbert Fund

Tammy Gilbert, PT has been a member of APTA and LPTA for the past 10 years.  She was diagnosed with scleroderma after she began practicing physical therapy.  Scleroderma is a fatal autoimmune disease which there is no cure, only treatment.

Recently she has been diagnosed with pulmonary artery hypertension and a return of interstitial lung disease.  They are both associated with scleroderma.  This disease is progressing very quickly.  Tammy is undergoing chemotherapy.  Since her disease has progressed so quickly her function has also severely declined and had to stop the practice of physical therapy.

The LPTA has set up a fund in her name to help with cost of medical treatments.  If you would like to contribute to the Tammy Gilbert Fund click on the link below.  Fill out the form and mail or fax to the LPTA office with your donations.  All donations will go straight to Tammy.

Thank you for your help!
