SPOTLIGHT ON: Carewell
Family caregiving is a labor of love. 90% of all care is provided by family members with no medical experience, yet nearly half perform complex medical or nursing tasks such as managing incontinence, caring for wounds, preparing food for specialty diets, and operating specialized medical equipment. Caregivers feel afraid, overwhelmed, and isolated. We guide them to the right products and solve their pain points in a way that is faster, simpler, and more cost-effective than any other solution.
Carewell is a family-founded e-commerce company with a mission to improve the lives of caregivers and their loved ones. Our story began in 2015, when our founders were among the 33% of Americans who act as informal caregivers. They were unable to find the guidance and selection they needed in one place, so they formed Carewell to be a source of support for independent caregivers seeking proactive service, compelling content, and expert-vetted products.

UTIs, Incontinence and Menopause – More of a Connection than You Might Realize
Do you have pain or burning when you pee? If so, you might have a urinary tract infection. They’re remarkably common. About 50% of women will develop one in their lifetime, and they get even more common as women get older and go through menopause. If you’re one of the 50% unlucky enough to come down with a UTI, this podcast is for you…
