About Our Guest:
Briane started working as an LPN in 1973! In 1977 she began working on the hematology/oncology in-patient unit at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, NH. In 1983, after attending massage school, she started offering massage to both patients and staff.. In 1989, funding was obtained to allow her to stop her nursing duties, and only offer massage. Since that time, the in-patient Healing Arts Program became part of the Palliative Care Team, and Briane now supervises 6 part-time massage therapists.
About Interdisciplinary:
In this podcast, massage therapy educators, practitioners and positive deviants Cathy Ryan, RMT and Cal Cates, LMT will use research, science, experience and humor to explore the broad landscape of health care through a truly interdisciplinary lens. We will be joined by compassionate, self-aware humans who are actively participating or are interested in participating in interdisciplinary care to have honest, uncomfortable conversations about topics like access, racism, death, ageism, ableism, and equity that address the intersection of being a human being and providing quality care, so that we can expand our impact, confidently navigate new challenges, and together create lasting, sustainable changes in health care. You’ll always learn something. You’ll always laugh and you’ll come away better informed and with real things you can do in your own community and practice to create a more compassionate and collaborative system of care for all humans.
