Susan Gaunt knew from an early age that she wanted to be a nurse.  She went to work with her mother on day, and from that first visit, her future career was sealed!  After graduating from Georgia Baptist as a registered nurse, she took a job with Gwinnett Medical Center, where she’s been working for the last 29 years.  Today Susan is a Stroke Clinical Nurse Specialist for both the Lawrenceville and Duluth hospitals.

Joining Susan in the studio today is repeat guest Kelly Dunham.  Kelly is both a Community Relations Coordinator and a Therapeutic Recreation Specialist.  She developed a passion for helping others through volunteer work in a nursing home as a youth.  Always energetic and athletic, Kelly has a dream job – she get’s paid to play with her patients.

Since May is Stroke Awareness Month, Eugeria! Radio is highlighting leaders in our community that treat and support stroke patients and their families.  Gwinnett Medical Center provides a full continuum of stroke care that is nationally accredited.  Their hospitals in Lawrenceville and Duluth feature dedicated acute care stroke units as well as stroke rehabilitation programs and services.  Additionally, their extensive rehabilitation services begin with physical therapy and occupational therapy, as well as speech pathology services, as soon as the patient is stabilized. Patients needing continued inpatient care may be referred for inpatient rehabilitation at Glancy Rehabilitation Center or to Gwinnett Extended Care Center.

For more information on Gwinnett Medical Center or Glancy Rehabilitation Center, or for information about their Stroke Support Group, contact Susan at sgaunt@gwinnettmedicalcenter.org, or contact Kelly at kdunham@gwinnettmedicalcenter.org.

The Importance of Safety! First Response Safety Training

Tom Enser has seen a lot of ugly things in his career!  As the owner of a company that teaches safety training, he is often called on by friends and acquaintances when an emergency occurs.  Tom tells of one particular occasion where he was called over by a neighbor.  A person had fallen and was on the floor with an obvious head injury, with lots of blood on the floor.  Tom’s first question was, “Has anyone called 911?”  The answer, “No, we called you!”  Seems like common sense to call 911 first, doesn’t it?  In emergencies, common sense often takes a back seat to panic.

First Response Safety Training is committed to high quality, affordable training for both healthcare professionals and family caregivers that seeks to encourage the right response in an emergency as second nature.  Tom and his wife have owned First Response Safety Training for 13 years.  They offer certification courses in CPR, First Aid, AED, Fire Safety and Bloodborne Pathogens.  First Response Safety Training and Griswold Home Care will be partnering to offer CPR and First Aid classes in the Tucker area on a regular basis.  These classes will be open to both healthcare professionals and family caregivers!  To reach Tom, call him at (770) 945-6837, or visit their website here:  www.firstresponsecpr.com.

Nancy Sears is a wife, mother, business person and angel.  She learned the power of the human touch more than thirty years ago when she was caring for a friend dying of AIDS.  Since then, she has spent a lifetime giving her time away to those in need of a compassionate touch.  Much of Nancy’s volunteering today is done through Compassionate Care Hospice.

Joining Nancy on the show today, Dave Savage is passionate about helping families communicate and memorialize their stories for future generations.  Like Nancy, Dave is a volunteer with Compassionate Care Hospice.  After spending many years in business, Dave became very interested in helping families “record their roots.”  Check out his work at www.memorykeepersvideo.com.

Michael Mullink has also dedicated his life and career to helping people.  Trained as a minister and chaplain, Michael spent most of the last six years as a chaplain for Compassionate Care Hospice.  He recently took on the role of Director of Volunteer Services.  Now he gets to coordinate the services of his “11th hour angels.”  He notes that Compassionate Care Hospice has nearly as many volunteers as it does paid employees.  He is thrilled to be involved with such a selfless and committed group of individuals!  For more information about Compassionate Care Hospice, or to contact any one of our guests today, email Michael at mmullink@cch.net, or call M inhale directly at (770) 220-2723.

Two Active and Motivated Parkinson’s Patients share their Stories with Eugeria! Radio

Ben Jackson was 28 years old when he received his Parkinson’s diagnosis.  To say that this was devastating and life-changing at such a young age would be the understatement of the year.  Married, with a young daughter, Ben has battled the disease for 8 years.  Now 36, he is an active advocate for Parkinson’s research and awareness.

On the other end of the spectrum, Carl Wilhelm had just completed a long and fruitful career as an ordained minister, a missionary to Ecuador for 15 years, and more than 25 years as a Shepherding Pastor for Perimeter Church.  Ten years ago, looking to retire and spend more time with his family, he also received the Parkinson’s diagnosis.  His world changed overnight.

Listen in as both Carl and Ben share their stories – about how they went from grieving, and even anger, to acceptance, to active participation in using their experiences to help other families deal with their own diagnoses.  These men have faced their own personal struggles to discover a new mission serving others in a way they never expected.  Carl runs a Parkinson’s Support Group twice each month at J. Christopher’s in Duluth, and Ben is also an active member.  To get more information, contact Carl via email at carlw@perimeter.org.  To contact Ben directly, email him at bendjax@gmail.com.
