Strike a Chord: 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
