On Tuesday, April 23rd we welcome Gail Zahtz from Car Pool Health to our 'Be A Healthy Caregiver' show on 'Blog Talk Radio'
Carpool Health is building an integrated media company to connect physician and patients with trusted information and recommended resources. Our strength lies in the unique identities of Communities of Practice that share common expertise, interests in diseases or treatments, and/or work together to learn and create solutions. By everyone coming together under one umbrella, and yet able to grow their personal passions and expertise within healthcare, every user can benefit.
Through our conversation with Gail, we will all learn how Car Pool Health will help us all 'Be A Healthy Caregiver'
Healing Ties
Beyond Caregiving...How do care?
How do we care for our family, friends, and the strangers we meet? How do we care for the community we live in?
How do we heal the physical, social, financial, spiritual aspects of our life and the lives of those around us?
We do this by creating Healing Ties!
By sharing their stories with host Christopher MacLellan, our guests reveal how they are creating Healing Ties in their community by their words, actions, and deeds.
Meet the Team

Seen by over 500,000 people world-wide the story told of the challenges that LGBT partners have in dealing with the medical and legal system, but it also told of the love and joy that Richard’s last years had on their relationship.
