Rudy Wilson-Galdonik


Hailed as the Erma Bombeck for the 21st Century, Rudy Wilson Galdonik is a menopausal mom with an attitude. A tad shy of bionic, she is a lifelong heart patient with $40,000 worth of equipment in her chest, installation extra.

Rudy is a three-dimensional expert on being sick – she has been the patient, the caregiver of a patient (she was widowed at the age of 42), as well as a hospital Human Resource Manager. She understands the challenges, emotions and issues of being sick. Her passion is to couple this expertise with humor to encourage people to take charge of their health and to live each day as a gift.

Rudy's unique perspective is also a valuable resource for the medical community. She understands the pressures, problems and challenges of those committed to working in healthcare. She helps audiences see challenges and obstacles as opportunities for growth and she inspires people working in healthcare to grow in both their personal and professional lives.

“Take Heart!” Rudy's debut essay collection chronicles the struggles, joys and hilarity that come from spending way too many hours tethered to a heart-lung machine. Two essays from “Take Heart!” have been re-enacted for a new television show called Ultimate Blunders to be aired on TLC.

As co-chair of the American Heart Association, Rhode Island Chapter's Women and Heart Disease Committee, Rudy has been instrumental in spreading the word about the risks and prevention of the Number One killer of both women and men. In 2003, Rudy received the American Heart Association's Heart of the Year Award. She also serves on the national board of directors of the Adult Congenital Heart Association and she is a member of the Association for Applied and Therapeutic Humor.
