"Caregiving often calls us to lean into love we didn't know possible."

Women's Heart Health
February is Women's Heart Health month. Did you know that 75% of all unpaid family caregivers are female? What's more, 36% of female caregivers handle the most difficult caregiving tasks (i.e., bathing, toileting, and dressing) when compared with 24% for their male counterparts. (National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP.) It's critical for caregivers to consider the stress created by caregiving places on female caregiver heart health! Visit
