Gail Schiffman Tribute

Dr. Marc Schiffman co-founded VoiceLove in response to a deeply personal tragedy: the loss of his mother to COVID-19. During her hospitalization, he experienced firsthand the challenges and emotional toll of isolation faced by patients and their families. This experience profoundly impacted him, highlighting the importance of sustaining the bond between hospitalized patients and their loved ones. His initiative to ensure that no one else feels the profound detachment he and his family experienced turns a story of loss into one of hope and enduring human connection.
