Meeting Families Where They Are (Guest: Siobhan Aaron, assistant professor at Case Western Reserve University)

Host Frederick Knuckles welcomes Siobhan Aaron, nurse practitioner and assistant professor at the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing at Case Western Reserve University, for an important conversation about Alzheimer’s, dementia, and the realities families face during serious illness and end-of-life care. Drawing from her extensive experience in palliative and hospice care, Siobhan shares how she witnessed the urgent need for better support for caregivers, particularly in communities impacted by health disparities.

Together, they explore the intersection of chronic disease, health equity, and caregiving — and offer practical advice for families navigating some of the most difficult moments of the Alzheimer’s journey. A powerful episode about compassion, advocacy, and meeting families where they are.
