On Wednesday we were fortunate to have Gary and Kathy in the Connectivity Center. They were here to share their experiences as caregivers with our support group as part of National Caregivers Month. Each had a lot to say and we felt like this was something worth sharing for those who could not be in attendance.

In the conversation they bring up the value of Respite, our Durable Medical Equipment Loan Pool, and the Hrbek-Sing program. For more information on any of these programs please visit the following links:
