Changing the Perspective by Designing Loungewear for Breast Cancer Survivors with Dana Donofree, Fashion Designer & Founder of AnaOno

Out of a bad medical outcome can come inspiration to change the world.

In this episode of Everyone Hates Healthcare, Michael Swartz, our host, is honored to have Dana Donofree, a fashion designer, founder of AnaOno, and breast cancer survivor. Dana’s life changed when, on the eve of her 28th birthday, a diagnosis of HER2 breast cancer came back positive. She took this experience to advocate for herself and others and start a successful business that changed the fashion perspective for breast cancer survivors after enduring surgery. Any medical diagnosis explanation can be overwhelming for the patient, reason why it is best when one has a reliable team of physicians to navigate it through, as Dana shares while going through her experience. Many resources are available for cancer patients nowadays; remember, you are not alone.

Tune in to this beautiful story of resilience, advocacy, and making a difference for women and people with breasts worldwide.

 Creating Light Out of the Darkest Moments with Chris Recinos, CEO and Founder at the Nurse Leaders Network

Creating Light Out of the Darkest Moments with Chris Recinos, CEO and Founder at the Nurse Leaders Network

Let’s start conversations about mental health; we all need it, right?

In this episode of Everyone Hates Healthcare, host Michael Swartz chats with Chris Recinos, a talented nurse executive, entrepreneur, innovator, and speaker about her healthcare journey. She always knew she was destined to work as a caregiver, but her life turned around when her daughter was lost to suicide and the pandemic wreaked havoc in the healthcare industry. She ended up building an app, called Hello Harmony, to strike up the suicide conversation and identify people at risk through gamification. She also reflects on the paradigm healthcare has had on prioritizing physical health over mental health, the current status of the field today in regard to access, and what changes must be made to improve healthcare.

This conversation will keep you on the edge of your seat, so be sure to listen to Chris’ story!

Experience Healthcare On Your Own Terms with Saul Marquez, Health Leader, Media Influencer, and Entrepreneur

Experience Healthcare On Your Own Terms with Saul Marquez, Health Leader, Media Influencer, and Entrepreneur

Taking control of your healthcare may sometimes mean leaving the silo aside.

In this episode, Michael Swartz sat down to chat with Saul Marquez, a healthcare executive, media influencer, entrepreneur, and founder of the Outcomes Rocket Podcast Network. Saul shared two personal stories of his experiences with healthcare, the first one being how a playground accident at six years old introduced him to the world of healthcare. He then talked about how if it hadn’t been for his wife, who knew pacemakers, his grandfather wouldn’t have received one when he needed it because of insurance issues, a story that helped him illustrate how patient-physician trust has become an issue in the current healthcare space. He tells a third story, told by one guest in his podcast, of entrepreneurship and coming up with a solution to a problem in healthcare, in this case, insulin refrigeration. Healthcare can be complicated sometimes, but you need to know that you don’t have to go through it alone.

Tune in to this episode to listen to three stories that inspire and give you the advice to navigate healthcare today!
