Millions of Americans are caught in caregiving situations without any breaks in sight. Representing a profession that's dedicated to supporting the family, the Northwest Osteopathic Medical Foundation is committed to helping caregivers. Recently, in cooperation with AARP, the Foundation launched a Public Service Announcement radio campaign on station Sunny 1520 AM in Portland, Oregon. These PSAs are read by local osteopathic physicians and share tips and encouragement for dealing with caregiver situations. At the conclusion of each message, listeners are invited to call a hotline for a free caregiver packet with information and various resources.
Help is available.
