LaKisha Blackwell
Patina Nurse Champion
LaKisha is a Patina Health Champion – or, in her words, “the person my patients didn’t know they needed.” She works hand-in-hand with her patients to coordinate their care, answer their questions and seek resources to ensure her patients receive the healthcare and aging experience they want and deserve.
A graduate of Penn State and a former elected official in Montgomery County, Kisha has spent much of her life helping people. She joined Patina because she wanted to be able to help her patients lead their own care, amid the often confusing healthcare landscape. Kisha finds joy in spending time with her patients and getting to know them in the context of who they are and what they value. Having worked on the health plan side of the healthcare industry, she knows her way around benefits.
Born and raised in Chester, Pa., Kisha currently lives in Montgomery County with her husband and their children. Kisha says she enjoys the walkability of her neighborhood and the friendliness of her community. She runs her own jewelry business at home, and is fond of traveling, experiencing new cultures and being on the water. Her friends, she says, call her “Cruise Kisha.”
