As a nurse practitioner, I see patients and their families struggling every day to figure out what resources and services are available to them and who they need to care for themselves or a loved one. We are living with serious illness longer today than ever before in our history and whether you are at diagnosis, months into curative treatment or nearing the end of life you each have your own unique experience.
As families across the country–and right here at home–struggle with serious progressive illness in themselves or their loved ones, finding information, accessing resources and determining available support has become more critical than ever before in our history.
In response, Hospice of the Chesapeake and Chesapeake Supportive Care is launching “Reimagining Hope,” a new podcast series, and I have the pleasure of serving as the host of this innovative and informative podcast series, which will debut Wednesday, Dec. 4.
Host Rachel Jordan interviews Dr. Sonja Richmond for the first episode of the new podcast “Reimagining Hope”
At Hospice of the Chesapeake, we recognize navigating this life event can be overwhelming and exhausting for everyone, but you want to do your best. Our goal for this new series is to provide you with quick, easy-to-understand information, but also to give you the critical skills and real time tools you can use today to navigate this part of your life.
I love my role at Hospice of the Chesapeake but most importantly, I’m a daughter, a mom, a caregiver, an Army veteran, and a community advocate. I have a passion for raising awareness about care available for those living with serious illness and that’s what I hope to share with you. My job as the series’ host is to bring guests to the table who can provide valuable insight and help you reimagine the hope you may be missing.
Please join us on this journey where we will discuss important topics like losing a loved one to dementia, grief during the holidays, how to manage the overwhelming number of medications that are prescribed and many more. Find “Reimagining Hope” here or wherever you find your podcasts.
