PodcastDX is an interview based weekly series. Guests share experience based medical insight for our global audience. We have found that many people are looking for a platform, a way to share their voice and the story that their health journey has created. Each one is unique since even with the same diagnosis, symptoms and the way each person will react to a diagnosis, is different. Sharing what they have experienced and overcome is a powerful way our guests can teach others with similar ailments. Many of our guests are engaging in self-advocacy while navigating a health condition, many are complex and without a road-map to guide them along their journey they have developed their own. Sharing stories may help others avoid delays in diagnosis or treatment or just give hope to others that are listening. Sharing is empowering and has a healing quality of its own. Our podcast provides tips, hints, and support for common healthcare conditions. Our guests and our listeners are just like you- navigating the complex medical world. We hope to ease some tension we all face when confronted with a new diagnosis. We encourage anyone wanting to share their story with our listeners to email us at info@PodcastDX.com Language: en Genres: Alternative Health, Health & Fitness, Medicine Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

The Shift in Dementia Care from Control to Connection
Episode 19
Monday, 4 May, 2026
Today we're continuing our Medicine in Transition theme with a topic that is deeply personal, professionally important, and long overdue. This episode is titled "The Shift of Dementia Care: From Control to Connection." But we're not doing this one alone. We're joined by a special guest, Jennifer Stoner.Jennie is a retired professor from Aurora University in Aurora, Illinois, where she taught in recreation administration and therapeutic recreation, helping train future professionals to design meaningful, person‑centered programs for older adults and people living with disabilities. She has spent much of her career at the intersection of aging, recreational therapy, and program administration, with a special interest in how purposeful leisure and engagement can support quality of life for people living with dementia. Through her academic work and consulting, she's been part of a broader movement to move dementia care away from simply controlling behaviors and toward connection, dignity, and participation—in long‑term care, adult day programs, and community settings.
