Transforming Veteran Care Through Storytelling, Art, and Theatre with Qwynn Galloway-Salazar PhD

My return guest, Dr. Qwynn Galloway-Salazar is an Army Veteran, end-of-life doula educator, and an advocate for redefining how nations honor and support veterans and their loved ones through the end of life. She is the creator of the course Caring for Veterans Through the End of Life and a new initiative We Hold the Line, which uses applied theatre to teach about veteran care through a story monologue. Today's conversation focuses on the history and scope of Qwynn's work and the importance of honoring and caring for veterans through aging, loss, and the end of life. Learn more at these website:
