How Employers Can Support Employees With Chronic Illness and Disabilities

On episode 437 of The Nurse Keith Show nursing and healthcare career podcast, Keith interviews Julie Hamilton, a Certified Fibromyalgia Coach and Life Coach based in Arizona who helps professionals living with disabilities to maintain their career and regain their active social life.

In the course of their conversation, Keith and Julie discuss the lives of professionals living with disabilities, the legalities of what employees are not required to disclose about their health, and what employers are allowed to ask. Keith and Julie also discuss Julie's new book, Chronic Illness at Work: How Managers Can Support Employees with Chronic Illness.

With 20+ years of Human Resources Management/Director experience, Julie speaks from extenive experience on the employer side of the equation, and when she was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2009, she knew what policies and laws to take advantage of to make her job work for her.
