This year’s conference will feature WCVB-TV NewsCenter5’s Susan Wornick as keynote speaker and workshops presented by Dr. Buck Woo, PhD, Director of the Center for Neuropsychology and Memory Disorders; Dr. Mona Sigal, MD, Medical Director of Nourish Health with Food for Life; and Phyllis DeLaricheliere, Regional Director of Sales at Benchmark Senior Living.

“This event will have a wealth of information for anyone affected by Alzheimer’s Disease, but it is really focused on giving family caregiver’s a place to connect with others on the same journey; for them to share tools, resources and stories,”says Jennifer Wenger, Co-Chair of the event’s steering committee.

Cost to attend the event is $8 if registered by November 1 and $10 at the door. Scholarships are available to those who qualify; email nscaregiverconnections@gmail.comif interested in the scholarship. To register for the conference, visit http://caregiverconnections.eventbrite.com.
