Seen, Not Invisible: What Caregivers Need from Medicine - with Erin Copelan
from The REIMAGINE Podcast · host The UC San Diego REIMAGINE Center
Caregiving is medicine’s invisible labor, and Erin Copelan knows it firsthand. Copelan joins Gabe Schnickel, MD, MPH, to reflect on her husband's liver transplant journey, including a terrifying rare complication, and caregiver burnout. Copelan and Schnickel explore how humor and grief coexist, why one-size-fits-all support doesn’t work, and how a simple check-in can change everything: “Are you okay?”Theme music by Geoff Bowman/Produced by Leila Adler REIMAGINE is thrilled to announce a new webinar series, Caregiver Conversations, a live, interactive series is for those who give care before, during and after transplant. Transplant caregivers shoulder profound emotional and practical burdens, yet their experiences often go unseen. Caregiver Conversations creates a regular space to listen, learn and connect — bringing compassion, mindfulness, and community to those supporting transplant recipients and donors. Each live session blends storytelling, reflection and expert dialogue to honor caregivers and model compassionate communication across the transplant continuum.
