HSHS hospitals host caregiver event September 25

Being a caregiver to a family member is as overwhelming as it is rewarding. Join HSHS Sacred Heart and St. Joseph’s hospitals’ 3D Community Health, in collaboration with The Aging & Disability Resource Center of Eau Claire County, for a presentation on “Maintaining Your Mindset: Obligation or Opportunity.” Transform your thoughts from, “I have to,” to “I get to,” on Wednesday, September 25 at 5 p.m. at 29 Pines/Sleep Inn & Suites Conference Center (5872 33rd Avenue, Eau Claire).

Learn about effective communication, compassion fatigue, self-care skills and maintaining your sense of humor with Jean Jirovec, Marriage and Family Therapist. A light dinner will be served at 5 p.m. with resource booths open, and the program begins at 6 p.m.

The event is free, but registration is required by calling 715-717-6565 or online at www.sacredhearteauclaire.org/Event-Management/Inspiring-the-Caregivers-Soul. Please bring a non-perishable food item to donate for local food pantries.
