Episode 79: Caregiver Assurance -- A Better Way of Connecting Caregivers to the Support They Need

No matter what sort of challenge a caregiver may be facing -- financial, emotional, or just trying to find the right resources at the right time, every caregiver challenge is made more difficult by that accompanying feeling of isolation that so many caregivers experience.

My guest is Heidi Telschow, manager of Fairview Health Services' Caregiver Assurance program, a unique program designed to seamlessly connect caregivers to the resources they need.

We're also talking about the eye-popping increase in the prevalence of MS in the United States, now reaching nearly one million adults. We'll tell you about a study that shows how the early use of more intensive MS disease-modifying therapy may provide better outcomes for people living with MS, you'll hear about an Innovation Challenge that could reward your inner entrepreneur with $25,000 in cash, and we'll tell you why the FDA has been asked to fast-track a cannabis-based treatment for spasticity in progressive MS. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS?! ___________
