Our organization is pleased to have this opportunity to formally recognize and celebrate the valuable role they play. For the past five years, NFCA has been the organizing force behind National Family Caregivers Week, always celebrated during Thanksgiving Week, the most family-focused time of year. But activities take place all month long to recognize the long-term role of caregivers, so this year the entire month of November is being devoted to them. The Ohio Academy of Family Physicians is a statewide professional association with more than 4,000 members, including practicing physicians, family practice residents and medical students. The scope of family practice encompasses all ages, both sexes, and every disease entity.
Family physicians provide comprehensive, continuing care to all members of the family.
