Susan Waddingham ~ Semper Fi & America's Fund on Brain Donation
Show Notes

Today's cross over episode is with Tish Hevel from the Brain Donor Project & Coming Home Well.

The importance of talking to your loved ones about your wishes prior to passing is often a tough conversation but a necessary one.

Tish is joined today by Suzanne Waddingham, a registered nurse with the Semper Fi & America's Fund Visiting Nurse Program, to discuss brain donation. Suzanne works with service members and their long term medical case management to help them to navigate the medical systems they're dealing with and reduce the barriers to care. As part of that care Suzanne talks about continuing the mission of serving through brain donation to help with research for those struggling with TBI and head injuries.
