There are millions of people affected by chronic conditions in our country, but so often the healthcare system and the people working within it seems ill equipped to provide care that is patient centered to those who are affected most by our healthcare system. Today, I have the privilege of sitting down for an interview with a frequent panelist on the channel, Melody. She will be sharing her experience living with chronic health conditions, and providing invaluable insights of how to make a better path forward. Both for patients and healthcare providers who help patients navigate chronic illness. As a healthcare system we tend to do well with illness we can see. But the invisible illness, that is where we tend to come undone. Together we can fix that. This is a start. Chronic disease is not new, so we need to help our healthcare system work with patients to tackle it.

As Covid Vaccine mandates become more popular, I have a few thoughts as to what is ethically the right move here. Covid vaccination decreases spread of illness, and will decrease likelihood of transmission to patients. However the vaccine mandate may cause more nurses to leave already short staffed units, making working conditions more unsafe. And costing more lives in the end.
