The Resilient Responder Podcast Episode 12
Erin Heily I started working with seniors while I was with the City of Alameda Fire Department. I attended the NFA Promote your Program Class where I presented the first Senior Fall and Fire Safety Program, which was funded by a FEMA grant. By the end of the week over half of the class participants decided to start senior safety programs in their cities. It was a huge success for the citizens as well as the Fire Department.

I have a passion for end-of-life care, bringing dignity, respect and honor to those at the end stages of life. https://www.linkedin.com/in/erin-heily-2a61315b [https://www.linkedin.com/in/erin-heily-2a61315b] Kathleen Putnam, MS RDN, EOLD, and Certified Grief and End of Life Coach and Doula As founder of NutritionWorks LLC [https://www.nutritionworkseattle.com/] and co-Founder of the Gentle Passage Doula Collective [https://www.gentlepassagedoulacollective.com/], Kathleen has over 30 years of business experience as a master’s prepared dietitian, educator, coach, and mentor who has educated and guided countless individuals to develop new skills sets supporting health transitions in their lives.
