Secondary Impact

A major medical condition affects much more than physical well-being. Along with required treatments and medications, it can also cause secondary impact to relationships, self-esteem, priorities, faith, and emotional well-being. These non-medical side effects often upend life as much or more than the primary illness or injury. Join Steve Barnhart, forced to end his career because of his own heart condition, as he talks with guests dealing with the often unspoken consequences of a serious health diagnosis. In each episode listen to Steve’s guests discuss the challenges and unexpected blessings of lost health as they openly share, hoping to inform and encourage others.
