Weekend Doctor: Care for chronic illness

Posted by Staff on Sunday, December 11, 2022

It was the last meaningful conversation that I would have with my grandfather. It involved a deeper level discussion about what it means to be a caregiver for a loved one facing Alzheimer’s disease. He looked at me with his pale blue eyes and said, “Now take our story and do something great. If anyone can take our pain and do something to help others, it is you.” As a granddaughter, educator and an occupational therapist, I have taken these words to heart. I think of my grandparents daily in the work that I do and the privilege I have had in serving others as a healthcare provider and educator. A critical and important part of health care I learned about during our journey with Alzheimer’s disease involved two different models of care: palliative and hospice care. While many believe palliative care and hospice to be the same, they are actually quite different.

"It was a tough game throughout, both sides played hard," said second-year Ada head coach Vince Halliday. "It was back and forth at the end, and they just made one more play than we did in those last few possessions."  

Grove sophomore Trenton Barraza scored five baskets in the fourth period to lead the hosts to the tight win.
