Us Vs. Them: Patients and Caregivers Confront Healthcare

Featured Podcast on the Whole Care Network!

Us vs Them Podcast is giving patients and caregivers (and those who support them) the opportunity to
tell their stories and talk about how we transform healthcare… as we tackle tough topics that
don’t get enough attention… from the perspective of those with lived experience. We will do
deep dives into topics such as gender bias in healthcare, frozen shoulder, transitioning from
pediatric to adult care, mental health, over-medicating our seniors, family caregivers as partners
(not visitors) in healthcare, and more. Join us for compelling stories, smart analysis, and creative
solutions.
