A Caregiver's Journey
Introduction by Cheryl Tatano Beck, DNSc CNM, FAAN
University of Connecticut, Distinguished Professor
School of Nursing
Lee Woodruff is a public relations professional and writer whose husband, Bob
Woodruff, the ABC News Anchor, was critically injured in 2006 while traveling
with the US military in Iraq. When an improvised explosive device went off near
the tank he was riding in, Bob suffered a traumatic brain injury that nearly
killed him.
Lee will be speaking about her own family's experience dealing with life
threatening illness, the challenging and often underappreciated role of caregiver,
and the work of the Bob Woodruff Foundation, Remind.org, that Lee and Bob
founded to assist returning service members and veterans dealing with traumatic
brain injuries and other hidden injuries of war.
