"It Happened by Accident...or did it?” -- Ellie Anbinder

GUEST: Ellie Anbinder, Founder of Caregivers-Wellbeing

"It Happened by Accident...or did it?”

Ellie Anbinder has always had an inquisitive and questioning part to her DNA; she always asks questions about the “non-obvious” in life and as she has lived her life, has had multiple careers which centered around asking the hard questions and working toward answers to those questions.

When Ellie was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1991, her question was always: “why did I get this disease?” Since no one seemed to be able to answer the question she founded a non-profit to fund research the links between breast cancer and the environment. This mission was unique at the time and set into motion a new way of thinking about breast cancer.

The theme of finding out and asking question about untouched topics again arose for Ellie when she became the frontline caregiver for her husband who was suffering from Alzheimer’s. She noticed and lived through the loneliness and isolation of being a caregiver and started a consulting practice which provides a safe place for caregivers to discuss their questions and find resources to navigate through the difficult dementia process which affects not just the health of the patient but impacts the caregiver dramatically. Caregiver-Wellbeing is this new mission.
