SAVE THE DATE: For Duet: Partners In Health & Aging’s annual Family Caregiver Virtual Symposium.
We have invited two remarkable speakers to help you discover practical strategies and tools to navigate your caregiving journey. Dr. Frances Marcus Lewis, Ph.D., the Endowed Professor of Nursing Leadership at the University of Washington Medical Center and an elected affiliate of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, is at the forefront of shaping compassionate and effective care practices. Her presentation focuses on changes in spouse-partner relationships when one becomes the caregiver to the other. We are also excited to welcome Amy Cameron O’Rourke, MPH, CMC, author and a featured speaker at TEDxOrlando. Her expertise has been showcased in numerous articles, TV shows, and radio broadcasts. Her book, The Fragile Years, published in 2021, embodies her belief that our elder years offer a beautiful opportunity for connection, meaning, and joy. Jayme West, KTAR 92.3 FM, Arizona’s Morning News, will moderate the symposium.
