Brooke Ellison, PhD, Associate Professor at Stony Brook University, is where she teaches and studies health policy and medical ethics. This is where she makes a living, but it is also the very same place that saved Brooke’s life. In September 1990, she was hit by a car while walking home from school while crossing a major highway nestled in the Long Island suburbs and, in that accident, suffered innumerable injuries that have affected her life in immeasurable ways. But as a fighter, her disability in no way compromises that. In fact, Brooke’s disability amplifies that.
