“As I’ve spent more time building programs to bring care into the home setting, I’ve realized that too often, we leave family caregivers out of this conversation. I’m inspired and excited to join the team at ianacare as they focus on this issue with expertise, innovation, and empathy. This team is able to bring together the support that caregivers deserve and desperately need, aligning with the priorities and goals of providers and healthcare systems. I am honored to join their efforts to advance tangible support for family caregivers.”
