Whole Care Network

Welcome to Season 8, Episode 25 of Healing Ties 2.0, 30 podcasts in 30 days celebrating National Family Caregivers month featured on the Whole Care Network. In this episode it is my pleasure to welcome Geriatric Patient Advocate and Medical Student Victoria Kozar. Victoria (Tia) found her passion for geriatrics as one of the pioneer participants in the groundbreaking Students-in-Residence program, spending a year living with the older adults of an assisted living community. Tia has brought her unique perspective to a state and national level, advocating for Alzheimer’s research, education, and political reform and serves as a Community Dementia Educator. Tia continues to work towards positively influencing care and re-frame how others view aging, as she pursues her medical education at University of Connecticut School of Medicine, where she hopes to continue to improve outcomes and infrastructure.Listen in and learn how Tia is creating Healing Ties all around us!
