New Article!
What Doctors Need to Hear From Family Caregivers
The focus of this article is to help you understand:

Why it’s important for your loved one’s doctor to know about your family caregiving situation

What the doctor and medical team can do to support you as you care for their patient.

The article also covers basic information about the HIPPA Law and the legal healthcare documents you may need when you care for an adult with chronic medical condition or disabilities.

In WA, almost 1/3 of people caring for a family member or close friend are members of WA’s Hispanic, Native American, Alaska Native or other communities with strong cultural traditions about family and caregiving. Different cultural backgrounds may have different caregiving practices but also share similarities. Join Caring across Cultures, a free webinar from WA Cares Fund, September 1, 1-2 PM. A panel (with audience Q & A) will discuss caregiving in different cultures, cultural awareness for professional caregivers, and how family members can be paid to care for family members through WA Cares.
