✨ What a great Gen Care Crew! ✨

Behind everything we do is an amazing group of people who show up every day ready to care, serve, and make a difference. We’re incredibly grateful for the heart and dedication our employees bring to their work!

Yesterday, our team got the chance to learn, connect, and recharge during a staff training on stress and resiliency with Bill Lotz from Chaplain Services Network. Thank you, Bill, for such an insightful and meaningful presentation!

And a special thank you to the Gesa Carousel of Dreams for hosting us and letting our team enjoy your beautiful carousel. It was the perfect setting to learn, connect, and have a little fun together!

We’re proud of our Gen Care Crew and all they do!

For our Yakima community, and those willing to travel!

Caregiving looks different for everyone. For some, it’s part of their profession. For others, it’s caring for a parent, spouse, child, or friend after the workday ends.

That’s why the Caregiver Conference hosted by Heartlinks and Healthy Ages was designed with two dedicated tracks; one for professional caregivers seeking CE credits and one for family caregivers looking for support, connection, and encouragement 💜

Join us May 19 in Yakima for a day focused on caring for the caregivers.
✨ Keynote speaker Susanne White
✨ Practical tools and meaningful conversations
✨ Lunch, community resources, gifts, and a sweet treat
✨ A welcoming space for caregivers in every capacity

Whether caregiving is your career or part of your personal life, you deserve support too.
📍 YVC Kaminski Community Center – Yakima

You may not call yourself a “caregiver”…
But if you’re helping a parent, spouse, neighbor, or loved one with daily needs, you are one.

And you’re not alone.
Nearly 1 in 4 Americans are walking this same path, often giving 25+ hours of care each week, for years at a time. Many are balancing it all while feeling overwhelmed, unseen, and unsure where to turn.

This conference is your space to pause, connect, and be supported.
✨ Learn practical tools
✨ Discover local resources
✨ Connect with others who understand
✨ Take a moment to care for yourself

Whether you’re a family member, friend, or professional, if you’re showing up for someone else, we want to show up for you.

💙 Join us for a day of encouragement, education, and community.
