Dennis and Debbie Gonzalez: From Struggle to Support at Gandara Center

Our job is to not just take care of the patient, but it's also to educate, like I said, the medical staff to see that that's a human being, you know.
Ever wondered what it takes to turn personal battles into a mission of hope and healing? In this compelling episode of the Healing Voices Project, Dennis and Debbie Gonzalez open up about their own journeys through addiction and recovery. Their candid conversation sheds light on the emotional and practical challenges they faced, and how these experiences now fuel their work at the Gandara Center and Holyoke Hospital ED.
Both Dennis and Debbie emphasize the importance of seeing the humanity in patients, a perspective that is often overlooked in clinical settings. They also tackle the tough issues of homelessness and addiction, offering valuable resources for families navigating these struggles. This episode isn't just about their story; it's a heartfelt call to action for better understanding and support for those battling addiction. Tune in to hear how two lives transformed into a beacon of hope for many.
