Stroke and the Spouse with Lana Wilhelm

By Tina McIntosh, Noah Taylor, and Terri Stacy

Lana Wilhelm joins us for a personal conversation about caring for her husband, Rick, after his stroke and how that experience changed the way she understood caregiving, even after more than 40 years as a registered nurse. We talk about marriage after stroke, what spouse caregivers often face behind the scenes, and how her books helped lead to CarePower Connect, formerly Stroke Caregiver Connection. We also recognize Aphasia Awareness Month and share communication tips for supporting someone living with Aphasia.
