The Love Troopers
On February 13, 2007, in Portland, Oregon, Heather MacAllister used medical aid in dying to end her life. Today, for our season finale, we're honored to have members of Heather's caregiving circle, also known as The Love Troopers, share their recollections of tending to Heather—and each other—through her illness and final day. This February, New York became the 14th U.S. jurisdiction to authorize medical aid in dying. It will go into effect this August. Cared For is executive produced and hosted by Kelli Dunham. It’s executive produced by Erica Getto and Myrriah Gossett for Good Get, in collaboration with PRX.

The stories we share.
Our lives rarely follow a neat plot, but that doesn’t mean we can’t use narrative devices to try and make sense of them. All season long, Kelli’s shared personal reflections on grief, illness, and caregiving. This week, Kelli’s sharing how they’ve crafted those reflections—and how storytelling techniques can be a valuable care resource for everyone. Join us next week for our season finale, where we’ll be putting more of these techniques into practice, and welcoming some new voices to the mix.

Once a nurse, always a nurse.
What's it like for care to be your life's work? This week, we're turning our focus to the pros: the nurses and other caregiving professionals who have been in our homes, by our loved ones' bedsides, and a call away when we're in need of support. Join Kelli as they reflect on their own experiences in the nursing field and share some strategies for relationship-building between family caregivers and professional caregivers. Cared For is executive produced and hosted by Kelli Dunham. It’s executive produced by Erica Getto and Myrriah Gossett for Good Get, in collaboration with PRX.
