Summary
Details

One family medical emergency can change everything. For global tech communications leader Karesha McGee, that emergency arose when her mother faced a series of life-changing health crises, and McGee suddenly became her caregiver.

Most family caregivers are ""accidental."" You didn't apply for this job, and you weren't trained for it, but when a medical emergency strikes in your family, you're thrown into the deep end: a new world of medical and legal jargon, insurance paperwork, and emotional exhaustion. McGee realized that while she was an expert in corporate crisis management, there was no blueprint for navigating a family medical crisis. She had to build one. That is this book.

In The Family Healthcare Playbook, McGee blends more than 20 years of executive leadership experience with the hard-earned lessons of a primary caregiver. This isn't a memoir; it's an empowering resource for anyone who suddenly finds themselves caring for a loved one. Inside, you will find:

Preparation Strategy:

Laying the legal and medical groundwork for your family's response to a medical crisis, including an overview of advance directives for healthcare and finances. Family Conversation Starters: Providing tactical advice and scenario planning to help you have the hard family discussions before a crisis hits. Triage Protocol:

Helping you navigate a family medical crisis, moving from panic to proactive advocacy on behalf of your loved one. Helpful Worksheets: Building your caregiving resources hub, including your loved one's medical history, notes from doctors' visits, medications, and more. Actionable Checklists: Outlining immediate action steps you can take today, whether you have 5-10 minutes, 15-20 minutes, 1 hour, or several hours.

Caregiving is the most critical leadership role you will ever hold. Whether you are preparing for the future or currently in the trenches, this book provides the framework to lead your family through the storm-without losing yourself in the process.
