Carpool Health with Gail Zahtz

  1. Carpool Health with Gail Zahtz Christopher MacLellan "The Bow Tie Guy" on the Whole Care Network 45:38

On Tuesday, April 23rd we welcome Gail Zahtz from Car Pool Health to our ‘Be A Healthy Caregiver’ show on ‘Blog Talk Radio’ 
Carpool Health is building an integrated media company to connect physician and patients with trusted information and recommended resources. Our strength lies in the unique identities of Communities of Practice that share common expertise, interests in diseases or treatments, and/or work together to learn and create solutions. By everyone coming together under one umbrella, and yet able to grow their personal passions and expertise within healthcare, every user can benefit.
Through our conversation with Gail, we will all learn how Car Pool Health will help 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.
