Harper Spero is a business coach, and Founder of Made Visible helping people living with an invisible illness be seen and heard. 

People living with disabilities that cannot be seen, are rarely accommodated for them and are frequently shamed when they physically cannot do the things that are expected of them.

Despite the progress towards inclusion, there are still significant barriers that persist that impede people living with an invisible disease and other disabilities from participating in society fully.

Ms. Spero shares how those living with an invisible illness can better navigate their lives through the power of communication and agency.

If you talk with the young people in the Catskill region, they will tell you that there are simply not enough places for them to be together in person for fun. One teenager is doing something about that. Edrick Henderson is a rising junior who lives in Phoenicia, NY, and has been skateboarding since he was a young boy. He is leading an initiative called Shandaken Skatepark that is creating a place for skateboarding in the town of Shandaken. His father, singer and founder of the Phoenicia International Festival of the Voice, has supported his son’s vision for a place for young people to be together, exercise, and have fun. HealthCetera host Dr. Diana Mason, RN, talked with Edrick and Kerry about the project on HealthCetera in the Catskills, WIOX Radio, on June 19, 2024.

The COVID-19 pandemic challenged most everyone to think about their vulnerability to infectious diseases and how communities and society responded. It was an opportunity to learn about what we need to do to be better prepared for the next pandemic or epidemic, including the current spread of Avian flu that is proceeding with minimal public health tracking and interventions. In the April 2024 issue of Health Affairs, Dr. Arthur Caplan, Mitty Bioethics Professor at the New York University School of Medicine, discusses the book The Wisdom of Plagues by science journalist Donald McNeill in an article titled, “How to Endure a Pandemic and Learn Almost Nothing.” HealthCetera host Diana J. Mason, PhD, RN, talks with Dr. Caplan about his conclusion that our failure to learn from the pandemic is more than a matter of misinformation. Rather, our moral compass and ethical stances as individuals and a society are barriers to being prepared for the next pandemic. This interview first aired on HealthCetera in the Catskills on WIOX Radio on July 3, 2024.
