I was so grateful to be part of a merry quintet of patient advocates and health care leaders who shared our perspectives on The Mighty Casey Quinlan, We lost Casey to, as she would often say, “fu**ing cancer” in August earlier this year. The essay titled An Extraordinary Voice Expressed Through Humor: A Tribute to Casey Quinlan.
Our essay, a tribute to the Mighty Casey Quinlan, patient advocate, activist, humorist, appears in the Journal of Participatory Medicine

Jane will be working with EU- and UK-based clients in September and October 2026, collaborating with stakeholders in digital health, public/community health, retail health, and growing opportunities for health-at-home. Stay tuned to her updates here on Health Populi on-the-ground as she lives the digital nomadic work-life in Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, and in London.
I was grateful to be Jasmine's first conversation-guest on her new podcast, "Aperture - Widen the Frame," where this expert in narrative medicine is bringing together the broad range of voices to sit at the table and address what health care needs: those humans in the health-system-loop who address health equity and empathy along with delivering evidence-based medicine for all.
Jane joined host Dr. Geeta "Dr. G" Nayyar and colleagues to brainstorm the value of vaccines for public and individual health in this challenging environment for health literacy, health politics, and health citizen grievance.
