Still wait-listed at all hospitals we’ve tried. This person needs to start #chemotherapy soon or will die waiting. If this happens, their death will be an uncounted death due to the #COVID19 pandemic’s effect on hospitals. I will not give up. #MedTwitter

This book is a must read for families newly finding themselves having a loved one with a brain illness, SUD or both. She provides the reasons why so many families live with this stress, mostly isolated from help, but also how to move forward. #SMITwitter Judith R Smith

So grateful to Jerri Clark for sharing their story and for her avid advocacy.
