“Annapolis family’s dark secret is now a book,” Capital Gazette
Lisa Hillman is the ultimate Annapolitan.
Until recently, she was the senior vice president and chief development officer of Anne Arundel Medical Center, responsible for planning and running multiple fund-raising campaigns for the hospital that raised millions of dollars. She is currently a board member of Pathways and Samaritan House in Anne Arundel County.
A former broadcast journalist, she is married to Richard Hillman, mayor of Annapolis from 1981 to 1985 and, now, retired from his government and legal careers, and dressed in 18th-century garb, is a popular walking tour guide.
The two are parents of Heidi, now 43, and Jake, 28. They live in a historic home just steps away from the State House.
An outsider might conclude the Hillmans had it all.
Except they didn’t.

Recovery United (help for families)
A nonprofit that helps families and individuals facing addiction figure out what to do next. Fill out a short online form and a Family Advocate contacts you, usually within 24 hours, to talk through options such as detox, treatment programs, counseling, intervention help and family support. It does not provide treatment itself and is not a crisis line.
