Featured in local and national press accounts, Mrs. Smith brings a reasoned and compassionate perspective to the need for safe patient access to medicine and timely, accurate care. She has been featured in such places as the NY Times, NPR Radio, Washington Post, Pain Pathways and Arthritis Today Magazines and presented a workshop at the EDS conference this past summer of 2013. Mrs. Smith suffers from two rare conditions. One is a degenerative collagen disorder called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. This crippling disease allows her joints to become easily dislocated, causing vice-like pain and confining her on and off to a wheelchair. She presently has endured twenty-two surgeries and countless visits to her doctors. Her second condition is called sarcoidosis, which has allowed enlarged lymph nodes and granulomas in her lungs. Both these conditions are presently not curable. Mrs. Smith has enjoyed a long and distinguished career, predominantly in the field of education. She taught social studies from 1989-2007.

In 2006, she was accepted into the Connective Tissue Research at the National Institute of Health to help search for a cure to Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. A proud mother of four adult children and two grandsons, Mrs. Smith is also an organic gardener, and prior to her disability was a master swimmer and high school swim coach.
