    How to Get More Help From Your Clinic: A New Caregiver’s Guide with guest Viki Droegkamp RN

    In this episode of Healthcare Redefined: Advocating for Aging Adults and Their Families, Pam Dunwald and Linda Kritikos interview RN Viki Droegkamp to help new family caregivers get more support from their primary care clinic. Viki explains that your clinic should act as the “hub” for coordinating care, and not just be a place for annual checkups, noting that caregivers shouldn’t have to manage everything alone. She outlines who to contact first, when to call directly versus messaging, and how clinics can help with care coordination, triage advice, transitional care management (TCM) after a hospital stay, and referrals for specialists, imaging, therapy, home health, oxygen, and other services. Pam and Linda also discuss with Viki the practical ways caregivers can reduce stress using MyChart (including proxy access), such as requesting medication refills, tracking lab results, reviewing provider notes, and staying on top of appointments and referral status. Viki shares key caregiver tips: keep MyChart messages short and clear with a direct question, avoid sending duplicate refill requests, and don’t rely on “Dr. Google.” She explains the common clinic supports that many families overlook, including help with prior authorizations, insurance coverage issues, preventive care reminders, forms, and driving safety concerns. The three outline clear next steps for caregivers: call your primary care clinic, ask what caregiver support services are available, and set up MyChart/proxy access to stay organized and informed.

    New Caregiver: First 30 Days

    In this episode of Healthcare Redefined: Advocating for Aging Adults and Their Families, hosts Pam Dunwald and Linda Kritikos introduce a practical “new caregiver roadmap” designed to guide adult children, spouses, and long-distance family members through the first 30 days of stepping into caregiving. Perhaps a loved one has had a fall, a new diagnosis, or a recent hospital stay. Whatever the situation, Pam and Linda’s goal is simple: help new caregivers feel less overwhelmed by offering a calm, step-by-step plan that prioritizes stabilizing immediate risks, building basic organization systems, and creating sustainable support without trying to solve everything at once. Pam and Linda break the roadmap into three phases. Days 1–3 focus on stabilizing, starting with immediate safety risks and identifying which issue is most likely to trigger an ER visit if ignored. Days 4–14 shift into organizing, including building a care team contact list, setting one consistent communication method, and establishing one place to track everything from appointments to medications. Days 15–30 are about supporting and sustaining, clarifying what “better” looks like for the loved one, confirming legal essentials, and identifying gaps like transportation, meals, bathing safety, supervision needs, and respite options. Pam and Linda discuss common early mistakes that can snowball into crises, and also stress that caregiving works best when roles match people’s strengths. The episode offers valuable insight with practical tools such as a one-page “who to call” sheet, medication list, and a downloadable caregiver starter kit to give anyone new to caregiving the confidence needed to take the first steps. __ Resources Mentioned in This Episode:  “The First 10 Things to Do When You Become a New Caregiver” blog postNew Caregiver Starter KitYour Nurse Advocate Now Monthly ProgramThe First 10 Cheat Sheet (download link)Medication List (download link) — Contact Pam Dunwald & Linda Kritikos | Your Nurse Advocate Consulting:  Website: YourNurseAdvocateConsulting.comFacebook: @Your RNAdvocatePinterest: @YourNurseAdvocateInstagram: @YourRNAdvocateLinkedin: Your Nurse Advocate ConsultingYouTube: Your Nurse Advocate Consulting

    Cannabis & Care: The Truth About CBD, THC & Aging Well with Susan Marks, N.P. “The Cannabis Nurse”.

    In this episode of Healthcare Redefined, hosts Pam Dunwald and Linda Kritikos welcome Susan Marks, the Cannabis Nurse, to the show to unpack the myths, misinformation, and mystery surrounding medical cannabis use. Susan is a board-certified family medical practitioner with clinical experience in adult surgical practice, pediatric oncology, hematology, home care, case management, disease management, and risk management. She also uses cannabis medically to manage the symptoms of her progressive neurological movement disorder, Essential Tremor. Susan explains cannabinoids, how they interact with the body and brain, the differences between THC and CBD, and the pain and symptom relief she’s seen patients achieve through medical cannabis use. Susan first debunks the idea that cannabis is a scary thing, a gateway drug to heroin use, something to steer clear of. She says that couldn’t be farther from the truth and, in fact, cannabis is now being used to help get people off opioids and reduce their risk of fatal overdose as well as manage their pain. Cannabinoids, the compounds in the cannabis plant, operate by interacting with the endocannabinoid system, the body’s largest neurotransmitter system. Only one compound in the cannabis plant, THC, creates psychoactivity, the stoned feeling, whereas CBD acts largely as a muscle relaxant and anxiety reducer. Pam and Linda learn all about how THC and CBD work in different combinations to relieve a host of pain and disease issues, finding out from Susan how effective proper medical cannabis use can be in reducing the number of pharmaceutical medications aging clients need to take. This episode will help open minds to the enormous medical and life-improving care that cannabis can provide if we step back from fear and learn how it can benefit us. __    About Susan Marks, N.P. “The Cannabis Nurse”: Susan Marks, MSN, FNP-C, PHN, specializes in cannabis medicine. She got into medical cannabis almost 8 years ago when she went searching for an alternative to Primidone (an anti-convulsant), which she was taking for a progressive neurological movement disorder called Essential Tremor. The effects of Primidone were intolerable; it was as if her brain was no longer her own. Her tremors were getting so bad that she could barely drink out of a glass without spilling water everywhere, so she couldn't just stop the medication; she needed to find an alternative.  During her months of medical research, cannabis kept coming up as a possible treatment for seizures, Parkinson's Disease (dyskinesia), and movement disorders associated with neurodegenerative diseases. As she weaned off of Primidone, she began adding her dose of cannabis, which included CBD, THCA, and a small amount of THC at night. Not only was she able to discontinue the Primidone, but her tremors were significantly better. Susan’s improvement and stillness were noticed by friends and family, and they began asking her to help them use cannabis for their medical issues. That was the beginning of her cannabis consulting business, which she calls Nurse Susan.  Susan still works with patients, but now she is teaching other nurses how to be a cannabis consultant, either as a part-time income or a full-time business. __ Resources Mentioned in This Episode:  Dr. Sanjay Gupta: Weed - CNN Special Documentary: ​​https://youtu.be/-SZzgfyXhJI?si=Xxy3N_Dx7zi3sL3gDr. Sanjay Gupta: Weed 6 - Cannabis and Autism: https://youtu.be/E6xpAzqzhnI?si=5xDNlg9GykGdFpyZ— Contact Susan Marks, MSN, FNP-C, PHN: Website: DearNurseSusan.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/susan-edith-marks-msn-fnp-c-phn-a811558/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEC2ccZQFhUlyu9-OTc9TvQ Contact Pam Dunwald & Linda Kritikos | Your Nurse Advocate Consulting:  Website: YourNurseAdvocateConsulting.comFacebook: @Your RNAdvocatePinterest: @YourNurseAdvocateInstagram: @YourRNAdvocateLinkedin: Your Nurse Advocate ConsultingYouTube: Your Nurse Advocate Consulting

    New Year, New Possibilities: Empowering Aging Adults & Families for a Safe, Connected 2026

    In this episode of Healthcare Redefined, hosts Pam Dunwald and Linda Kritikos guide aging adults and their families through four key areas that shape a safe, purposeful, and well-supported start to 2026: winter safety, social connection and purpose, advanced life planning, and preparing for possible relocation. They discuss how aging adults often shift their New Year priorities from material goals to emotional ones, such as wanting more time with loved ones, and address the unique challenges aging adults face that require realistic and supportive goals set alongside families. Linda highlights how winter creates serious risks for older adults, including slips, power outages, and difficulty managing medications, groceries, and transportation. Social isolation is a major health risk, and Pam shares striking statistics showing that one-third to half of older adults experience loneliness. They explain the critical need to review important documents at the start of each year, such as healthcare power of attorney, financial power of attorney, wills, and estate plans. And they outline signs that it may be time for a relocation. Aging is a journey best approached with planning, compassion, and teamwork, and Pam and Linda are here to guide every family through it with grace. __    Resources Mentioned in This Episode:  “11 Signs Your Aging Parent May Need Help in the Home” Checklist: https://wfn2dovb.pages.infusionsoft.net/?cookieUUID=55c1681e-d914-4910-beb2-ca72305fdf74&affiliate=0Checklist on Advance Life Planning: https://yournurseadvocate.yournurseadvocateconsulting.com/advance-life-planning-checklist.htmlSenior Relocation Ready Checklist: https://yournurseadvocate.yournurseadvocateconsulting.com/senior-relocation-guide.html“Winter Safety Tips for Older Adults” from HealthInAging.org: https://healthyagingcore.ca/files/preview/29493Age Friendly Community Guide and Checklist: https://yournurseadvocate.yournurseadvocateconsulting.com/age-friendly-community.htmlFall Prevention Checklist and Guide: https://yournurseadvocate.yournurseadvocateconsulting.com/fall-prevention.htmlFAQ Family Caregiving Guide: https://yournurseadvocate.yournurseadvocateconsulting.com/caregiver-faqs.htmlLong Distance Guide and Checklist: https://yournurseadvocate.yournurseadvocateconsulting.com/long-distance-caregiving-tool-kit.htmlNeighborhood Age Friendly Checklist: https://yournurseadvocate.yournurseadvocateconsulting.com/age-friendly-communities.htmlFree Senior Saturday Newsletter: https://juwyexd7.pages.infusionsoft.net — Contact Pam Dunwald & Linda Kritikos | Your Nurse Advocate Consulting:  Website: YourNurseAdvocateConsulting.comFacebook: @Your RNAdvocatePinterest: @YourNurseAdvocateInstagram: @YourRNAdvocateLinkedin: Your Nurse Advocate ConsultingYouTube: Your Nurse Advocate Consulting
