This week on Calling in Sick, I sit down with Danielle Lazarowitz, founder of Chronius Care, a virtual healthcare service designed for chronic illness warriors by a chronic illness warrior. Danielle shares her powerful journey, from the struggles of searching for a diagnosis and managing debilitating symptoms to dealing with lackluster care. These experiences ultimately inspired her to reimagine healthcare for spoonies everywhere. We unpack why the current healthcare system often fails chronic illness patients and how Chronius Care is changing the game. The virtual platform gives each patient access to a primary care physician, patient coordinator, patient advocate and mental-health specialists. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t fit into the box that is the current medical system, this episode is for you. As always, sending love!

xx,

Alex
