Have you ever been to a hospital that has a pub inside? Most people haven’t, but now the Derwen Ward at Cefn Hospital has built one to help dementia patients.

Actor, producer, director and best-selling author Rob Lowe penned an article for USA Today in which he discusses the selfless work and stress of being a caregiver. Lowe and his brothers served as their mother’s caregivers, often feeling overwhelmed while figuring out their “new normal.”

Written by APB Exclusive Speaker, Samantha Harris: I know, I know – “keep your heart healthy” seems to be a constant headline, especially during Heart Health Month. We all understand this by now.

APB is proud to offer an extensive roster of today’s leading health and wellness speakers who educate and engage audiences on hot-button healthcare topics and emerging trends of the day. Recently, Fast Company published an article focusing on the top health and wellness trends of 2019.

Advocate, artist and APB speaker Regina Holliday started a medical advocacy blog after her husband passed away from poor care and a lack of access to his own medical data. Holliday created this forum to be “a place where art, medicine, social media and pop-culture collide and create a patient voice in health information technology.” Since 2009, she has used her art to give a platform to those demanding healthcare policies for better quality patient treatment and safety. As an experienced painter, Holliday attends medical conferences and live paints stories on canvases as told by fellow advocates and patients. Over time, she developed and created The Medical Advocacy Mural Project.
