Proud to support ALS United Rocky Mountain and the belief that together we can find a cure for ALS. All net proceeds from Bolieve shirt sales benefit the fight to conquer ALS: https://t.co/I3KwYQTrPh
My mother was diagnosed with cancer when I was the district attorney of San Francisco. I remember cooking meals for her and taking her to her appointments. I did what I could to make her comfortable. I figured out which clothes were soft enough that they wouldn't irritate her, and told her stories to try and make her laugh.
Caregiving is about dignity—not just for the patient, but also for the caregiver. We must lower the costs and ease the burdens faced by our caregivers to make it easier for them to provide care, while pursuing their aspirations.
Today, I am announcing a new historic Medicare at Home benefit as part of my plan to help families with caregiving needs and strengthen Medicare for the long-term. Over 67 million people are covered by Medicare, yet many Americans don’t realize that Medicare does not cover long-term services and assistance like home health aides.
As a result, many American families face challenging and sometimes impossible choices.
My plan will strengthen Medicare to cover home care services and support for seniors. This will include providing care workers with better wages, improving the quality of care for seniors and those with disabilities, and treating our seniors with the dignity they deserve.
Brian and Sandra are the epitome of hope.
When Brian was diagnosed with ALS, he turned tragedy into action by launching @iamalsorg and leading a movement to find a cure.
I’m inspired by these two—and after you hear their story at the @DemConvention, you will be, too.
Been noticing this weird thing lately where if I eat high protein foods in the middle of the day instead of pretzels and candy, I don’t need a 90 minute nap every single afternoon like usual. Sadly we’ll never know if there’s a connection
I honestly think you need a brain transplant if you don’t think the Dawgs the MVP. It’s not only the numbers but it’s so beautiful to watch. He’s reached McDavid level. Hockey has 2 McDavid’s now. It’s must see TV every night.
Chris Snow lived his life to the fullest and changed the world along the way.
Despite his own battle, he was dedicated to helping find a cure for ALS and assisting others as much as he could.
His long-time friend Craig Conroy reflects on his life and his impact on the world.
