Lisa Soltermann
Lisa graduated with a bachelor of science degree in human
relationships from the University of Minnesota in 1992 soon after coming
to the Minnesota AIDS Project as an intake worker. She has worked as a
HIV/AIDS case manager at MAP for the past eight years. During that time
she has worked with more than thirty clients, their friends, partners and
families as they have faced the dying process. Newer MAP case managers,
who deal with end-of-life much less frequently now as HIV/AIDS prognoses
improve, rely on Lisa’s practical experience and emotional support.
Lisa's interest in working with death and dying preceded her employment at
MAP; she volunteered as a bereavement and home care volunteer through
Abbott Northwestern's Hospice program. Lisa is very near completion of a
master of social work degree from the College of St. Catherine where she
is specializing in grief and trauma issues both among clients and the
professionals who work with them.
