Strike a Chord: Family Caregivers
Cityscape: Family Caregivers
Each quarter, WFUV works to raise awareness of a particular issue through our Strike a Chord campaign. Past campaigns have focused on everything from mental illness stereotypes to teen suicide prevention. WFUV and Bronxnet Television teamed up to produce a special panel discussion for our latest campaign focused on family caregivers. When you’re faced with having to care for a sick or disabled loved one, you’re bound to encounter a set of new responsibilities – many of which might be unfamiliar or intimidating. Our panel discussion on the subject features the following guests:
- Randi Kaplan, Director Caregiver Support Program Montefiore Health System
- Chris Widelo, Associate State Director for AARP New York
- Matt Kudish, Senior Vice President of Caregiver Services at Alzheimer’s Association, New York City chapter
- Sharon Corso, a caregiver for her husband who has Alzheimer’s Disease
