Gregory Johnson

2. In life…
“There are only four kinds of people in this world: those who have been caregivers, those who currently are caregivers, those who will be caregivers and those who will need caregivers. Caregiving is universal.”
Rosalynn Carter
Former First Lady of the United States

3. What is a family caregiver?
A Family Caregiver is a person who provides unpaid care for relatives and/or loved ones.
A Family Caregiver is someone who is “ALWAYS ON CALL…”
A Family Caregiver is someone who shows up …and stays to help…Carol Levine

4. Keeping caregivers; Caregivers
Mission (since founding in 2001): It is the intent of this Initiative NOT to create more care recipients…but support Family Caregivers, often the “silent patients” with resources, research, tools and partnerships that support their role in the health care system.
