As a mother, family caregiver, and former registered nurse, I understand that healthcare information extends far beyond clinical settings. The knowledge shared through healthcare conference coverage can influence not only healthcare professionals, but also families facing difficult decisions every day. My family currently cares for my mother-in-law—who is living with Alzheimer’s disease—giving me a personal appreciation for the challenges facing older adults and those who support them.
I enjoy learning and sharing knowledge that can make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. My goal is to help others improve their own quality of life and the well-being of those around them. The articles below explore a variety of healthcare topics that can benefit healthcare professionals, caregivers, patients, and anyone navigating the realities of aging, chronic illness, and long-term care.

Long-Term Care Conference Coverage
Through my coverage of the National Association of Directors of Nursing Administration (NADONA)—held June 9–12, 2025, in Jacksonville, Florida, and June 7–10, 2026, in Dallas, Texas—I explore the evolving clinical, operational, and regulatory challenges facing long-term care providers. Topics include infection prevention, quality assurance and performance improvement (QAPI), medication safety, workforce development, leadership, regulatory compliance, and emerging best practices. These articles translate conference discussions into practical information for healthcare professionals, caregivers, and anyone involved in supporting older adults across long-term care settings.
Geriatric Care & Healthy Aging
Held September 11–13, 2025, in Las Vegas, Nevada, the Gerontological Advanced Practice Nurses Association (GAPNA) Annual Conference brought together experts focused on improving care for older adults. My coverage highlights key discussions on dementia care, delirium prevention, perioperative readiness, behavioral health, and age-friendly care models, translating evidence-based strategies into practical insights for healthcare professionals, caregivers, and families supporting aging loved ones.
