Brian McDonald: Rocket Scientist + Med School = Compassionate Caregiver
Hello Alzheimer's host Karla Hult talks with Brian McDonald, President of SYNERGY HomeCare of Northeast Metro, Twin Cities, Minnesota.
We know EVERY care partner -- whether family/personal or professional -- is doing the most important "work" in our world by walking alongside those living with Alzheimer's or other dementia. And while we can learn from each and every one of those caregivers, Brian brings a unique perspective... Because yes, he's a retired rocket scientist who also managed a couple years of medical school and working at Medtronic BEFORE he answered the calling to become a caregiver.
Prestigious positions and degrees aside, Brian says he discovered his commitment to his current mission after his own caregiving journey.
This conversation delivers exactly what you'd expect from a person who often jokes he's the most “compassionate Rocket Scientist you’ll ever meet:" practical advice, heartfelt wisdom and empathy.
As always, please reach out to Karla if you have questions or suggestions for future conversations: Karla@SoManyGoodbyes.com. Please also like, review, share and subscribe to "Hello Alzheimer's" if you're enjoying this content. We truly value your support. And please know... You're not alone.
