Catherine Spannagel, Caregiver Specialist, HSHS St. John’s
Hospital Third Age Living, will present “What Can a Caregiver
Specialist Do for You?”
Lunch will be provided and pre-registration is required. While there
is no charge to attend,
voluntary contribitions are accepted. All donations received are

The goal of the series is to provide practical information that will
help caregivers continue to provide quality care to
others while maintaining balance in their own live.

family members, friends, and neighbors who provide assistance to
someone who is to some degree incapacitated and in need of help with
tasks such as grocery shopping, bill paying, cooking or personal
care.
Grandparents or other relatives raising grandchildren are those
who have accepted primary responsibility for raising one or more
children through age 18.
