An estimated 1 in 4 young adults in the U.S. are living with a chronic medical condition, many invisible to the naked eye, and posing unique challenges in education, healthcare, the workplace, mental health, and the family.
The Invisible Wave Podcast illuminates these shared challenges through highly relatable personal stories from individuals, caregivers, and innovators, and highlights effective grassroots solutions to improve quality of life for this vast, underserved community.
About the Host:
On the first day of her medical fellowship, Dr. Santi Bhagat’s 8-year-old daughter was rushed to the emergency room where they induced a medical coma to stop her first seizure. In that moment Dr. Bhagat crossed the threshold from being a physician to a frightened mother desperate to protect and save her child, and was moved to create Physician-Parent Caregivers (PPC), a non-profit to protect young people with chronic health conditions and their families. Santi has since founded the Anthem Award-winning Invisible Wave bringing her unique blend of medical and health policy expertise, and deep empathy and understanding born of personal experience, to her role as host of The Invisible Wave Podcast.
The Invisible Wave Podcast is a non-profit public service produced by TenTen Audio and released in association with Signal Co. No1.
