Riley Arter and I co-authored an article titled, "Anatomy of an Informed Decision: Dissecting Client Organ Donation under the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act," which has been published in the NAEPC Journal of Estate & Tax Planning. In this article, we examine the implications of the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act on the organ donation process and discuss how to provide informed consent to clients when drafting health care power of attorney documents.

It is unspeakable that women’s health is so low on society’s list that women with fame have to stand up on a podium and explain how even they couldn’t get diagnosed with endometriosis in a timeframe that allows for more positive outcomes and a reduction in medical trauma, misogyny and gaslighting. Endometriosis is not only a bad period. A bad period is not just hereditary. Endometriosis is not depression. It’s not anxiety. It causes those things but it’s not that. Endometriosis is not the endometrium. Endometriosis is not visible on imaging in most cases. Why do women all over the world have to over educate themselves on this condition and, only, when they have traumatic medical experiences with hundreds of misdiagnoses, dismissals and dangerous mistreatments. As human beings on this earth we have a right to proper care for this disease.

🌟 “Partner Powered” is more than just a phrase at Social Venture Partners Seattle; it’s the core of their work.

👏Congratulations to Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago for a successful event and to Nicolas Michuda and Sydney for conquering the challenge! Let's get to work....all the way to the top! 💡 Here are some fun facts regarding stairs for architects and contractors: ➡ The Roman architect Vitruvius established the first guidelines for the stair in the first century B.C, suggesting a 37-degree pitch. Most stairs are not dramatically different today. ➡ The 19th century is regarded by many as the golden era of stair construction. In the 20th century architects gave prominence to lifts. Now, with the emergence of ‘active design’, architects are once again making stairs more prominent. #climbhigher
