Wellness Newsletter
FEATURED:
May 2023 - Family Caregiver Awareness
A caregiver is anyone who provides help to another person in need, such as an ill spouse or partner, a disabled child, or an aging relative. However, family members who are actively caring for an older adult often don't self-identify as a "caregiver." Recognizing this role can help caregivers receive the support they need.
*Please note: In order to access the Wellness Newsletter you must be signed into the BCHS Intranet using your corporate login.
