ABOUT ELIZABETH (LISA) DEL BUONO, MD, moderator
After completing her residency in anatomic pathology at the University of Michigan and staying on as an assistant professor for a short time, Lisa spent most of her professional career practicing in Traverse City, MI with expertise in GI and breast pathology.
In 2012, Lisa woke up to the fact that our climate was rapidly changing and that urgent collective action was needed. So, in early 2013, she became a
Citizens' Climate Lobby (CCL) volunteer. Now, she serves as the State Liaison Coordinator for CCL and co-leads CCL's Health Action Team. In early 2020, Lisa co-founded
Michigan Clinicians for Climate Action (MiCCA) with the desire to utilize the trusted healthcare voice to educate the public and policymakers about the health benefits of addressing climate change.
