MetroHealth Featured on Charity Charge Show Podcast

MetroHealth’s innovative Adaptive Intimacy Lab is in the national spotlight! A newly released episode of the Charity Charge Show podcast features:

• Gillian Gulan, OTR/L, Occupational Therapist at MetroHealth
• Marcia Meermans, Philanthropy Officer at The MetroHealth Foundation
• Mark Bogosian, Director of Engagement at Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation

Together, they share the story behind this first-of-its-kind program, which began with a single patient question that revealed a critical gap in spinal cord injury rehabilitation.

The conversation highlights how philanthropy made this possible, including a Quality of Life grant from Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation secured through The MetroHealth Foundation. This support, combined with Gillian’s clinical leadership and the team’s dedication to addressing sensitive but essential aspects of recovery, has positioned MetroHealth as a national leader in advancing intimacy and sexual health for patients with spinal cord injuries.

Looking ahead, MetroHealth and its partners share a bold vision: expanding this model so more patients can access dignified, evidence-based care that supports every aspect of healing.

The Charity Charge Show reaches thousands of nonprofit leaders and philanthropic organizations nationwide. Watch or listen to this inspiring episode and share it with your network:
