The Care of Patients Before and After Total Laryngectomy with Bridget Guenther MS, CCC-SLP

Bridget Guenther has spent her SLP career focusing on the treatment and management of head and neck cancer. As a Senior Clinical Educator for Atos Medical, Bridget provides education & trainings to SLPs and patients with total laryngectomy.  Bridget joins Leigh Ann to lay a foundation on the role of the SLP in managing patients with total laryngectomy. We review SLP involvement pre-surgery, immediately post-surgery (acute care), and follow-up (outpatient). Our talk covers the need for education, counseling, and information on alaryngeal speech options for this patient population.
