Lez Purdy-Rivera

Insurance & Compliance Administrator

Lezlie, aka ‘Lez,’ loves being part of a team that has the meaningful purpose of impacting the lives of others with life-changing opportunities. She truly wants peace and healing for clients. A perfect fit to an ‘Ōlelo No’eau (Hawaiian Proverb) she believes in:

UA OLA LOKO I KE ALOHA.

Love gives life within.
Aloha is imperative to one’s healing, peace and complete wellness.

Lez has worked in the medical field for over 18 years, doing everything from front office to back office and medical office administration.

At Exclusive Hawaii Rehab, Lez handles our accreditation compliance programs and client schedules. With her attention to detail, we can relax, because we know we’re in good hands!

Lez’s positive attitude permeates her demeanor, and she always makes time for a quick laugh. As the Proverbs say, “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”

Away from work, Lez loves spending time with her family. She’s the mother of six children, and grandmother to 7. Born and raised on The Big Island, her family roots run six generations deep, including being the great granddaughter of one of the first Hawaiian cowboys, Ikua Purdy, voted into the National Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame. You can find a large bronze statue of Purdy roping a steer in Waimea town on the Big Island. Her Hawaiian language, culture and values are a vital part of her living, loving, sharing and learning.
