Meet Traci Beebe, RN!

Send us Fan MailThis week we talked to Traci Beebe! Traci is the Director of Nursing and Clinical Practice at The Permanente Medical Group and she also happens to be Robin's sister! Traci was in nursing school when Robin was diagnosed with IBD and we talked to her about what that was like. We also talked to her about her experience with pain management clinics and pain and IBD. We discussed how and why pain management is so complicated and misunderstood in IBD and what we can do to change that. We also talked about the importance of case management and involving family in chronic illness care and management. Finally we talked about what it's been like for her to experience and help Robin during some of her most challenging times with IBD. Traci is so passionate and such and advocate and it was such a JOY to get to know her during this conversation. Links: How to Support Someone With IBD- Blog by the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation- USAResources for caregivers and professionals caring for IBD patients and their families- ImproveCareNowPain Management for IBD- Crohn's & Colitis Foundation- USAPain and IBD- Crohn's Colitis CanadaLet's get social!!Follow us on Instagram!Follow us on Facebook!Follow us on Twitter!
