Thank you all so much for sharing these amazing conversations, I’ve learned so much from you all

We need more podcasts like this!
I started listening to GeriPal regularly as a way to get in an inspired mindset during the commute to my job as a hospital PC social worker. My mom was a nurse practitioner in home based primary care at the VA and she started listening too. We had such great conversations about her work that I never would have heard, and it allowed her to be a mentor as well as a mom.
…the constant laughing and giggling by the hosts! Not topics that lend well to tee hee and ha ha’ing! In poor taste! No thank you!
