In Sickness. Men and the Culture of Caregiving is a monthly podcast that will focus mostly on stories of male caregivers who have supported individuals with various diseases and medical conditions across all therapeutic areas including select cancers, ALS, Alzheimer’s, and numerous rare diseases. The podcast will highlight the growing population of male caregivers who are caring for their spouse, life partners, children family members, and friends, and joining the ranks of the throngs of women caregivers who have historically been central to this effort. The podcast is co-hosted and produced by Bob Coughlin and Paul Kidwell, with technical supervision provided by Dan Thibeault of Fast Twitch Media.

It takes courage and compassion to be a police officer. The same is true for a caregiver. Just ask Clifton Huffmaster whose day job finds him working as a detective in the Special Victims Unit with the Concord Police Department in Concord, California. This takes courage.

Marty Schreiber is the former Governor of Wisconsin, author of, My Two Ela...

This young man who was just sprouting his wings took a harsh turn into adulthood as part of ...
If you’re looking for a fair fight, don’t pick one with cancer. Odds are that cancer rarely loses and its adversary won’t have a puncher’s chance of bringing on defeat. Anyone confronted with caring for someone with a cancer diagnosis typically has no shortage of personal will, but not necessarily successful in finding a way to beat cancer. Just ask Miguel Barron who supported his wife in her two-year ordeal living with metastatic ...
