DOMA: What It Means To You!

  1. DOMA: What It Means To You! Christopher MacLellan "The Bow Tie Guy" on the Whole Care Network 38:15

On Tuesday August 6th, we welcome Board Certified Elder Law Attorney, Stephanie Schneider and Accredited Investment Feduciary,  David Treece to ‘Be A Healthy Caregiver’ on Blog Talk Radio.
This is an historic time in America for the LGBT Community, but is the community prepared? On today’s show, Stephanie will discuss federal rights and benefits such as Social Security, Veterans, and Medicaid rights and David will discuss the implications pertaining to financial planning and Pension planning for LGBT Couples and their familes. 
Through our conversation on Tuesday, Stephanie and David will help guide us on the right path, while helping us all ‘Be A Healthy Caregiver!’ 
 
 
 

You Might Know Me As The Bow Tie Guy - "Wearing a bow tie is like wearing two smiles."

When people ask me, "why did you create the Whole Care Network"... I always come back to our caregiving experience and how fortunate I was to find resources that helped me and my partner Richard Schiffer manage our caregiving journey. Every caregiver has a story; through our stories, we find validation, resources, and respite to help manage our caregiving day.

We were fortunate to have our story chronicled in a 2015 Pulitzer Prize-nominated 3-part story, “In Sickness and In Health: A Couple’s Final Journey,” which told our journey of caregiving. The story told of the challenges LGBT partners have in dealing with the medical and legal system, but it also told of the love and joy my partner Richard's last years had on our relationship.
