Christopher MacLellan is affectionately known as the "Bow Tie Guy". This podcast explores the story of Chris and his partner Richard who were navigating the world of caregiving before marriage equality. Because many in the medical and legal community didn't recognize the rights of LGBT partners, Chris's journey faced many more challenges. Their story was beautifully chronicled in the 2015 Pulitzer Prize nominated story - "In Sickness and in Health: A Couple's Final Journey."
Chris is the author of the book "What's The Deal with Caregiving" and the host of "Healing Ties Podcast."
Advocating for caregivers, is a vital part of who Chris is and his passion. He is the founder of "The Whole Care Network" where he brings together experts to offer advice and support.
