Are you a caregiver? This conference is for you.
If you’re helping a parent, supporting a spouse, checking in on a friend, or working in a caregiving role—you’re carrying more than most people see.
And you don’t have to do it alone.

On May 19, Heartlinks and Healthy Ages are coming together to host a Caregiver Conference in Yakima—designed for both family and professional caregivers.

Join us for:
💜Practical tools you can actually use
💜Support for wherever you are in your journey
💜Connection with others who understand
💜Continuing education opportunities for professionals

Whether you’re new to caregiving or have been doing it for years, this space is for you.
Because caregiving doesn’t come with a manual—but you don’t have to figure it out alone

Thank you Dr. Takagi with for being our featured speaker at this month's Wellness Workshop - "Move: The Benefits of Physical Activity"!

For those who couldn’t join us, we explored the many benefits of regular exercise and why staying active is so important for overall health.

And a fun fact to top it off 👀 — Dr. Takagi was recently a contestant on Wheel of Fortune! Check her interview in the comments!

You may not call yourself a “caregiver”…
But if you’re helping a parent, spouse, neighbor, or loved one with daily needs, you are one.

And you’re not alone.
Nearly 1 in 4 Americans are walking this same path, often giving 25+ hours of care each week, for years at a time. Many are balancing it all while feeling overwhelmed, unseen, and unsure where to turn.

This conference is your space to pause, connect, and be supported.
✨ Learn practical tools
✨ Discover local resources
✨ Connect with others who understand
✨ Take a moment to care for yourself

Whether you’re a family member, friend, or professional, if you’re showing up for someone else, we want to show up for you.

💙 Join us for a day of encouragement, education, and community.

Many caregivers don’t realize they are…

You’re probably a caregiver—and don’t even realize it.

On May 19, we’re partnering with Generational Care to host a Caregiving Conference in Yakima—created for both family and professional caregivers.

If you’re checking in, helping out, showing up,
and adjusting your life for someone else—
that’s caregiving.

And it can be a lot to carry.
Support. Tools. Connection.

Because you don’t have to do this alone 💜

Around 30 million people in the U.S. have sleep apnea, but a large majority
(up to 80%) are undiagnosed.

Quality sleep supports healing.
Healthy teeth and gums support heart and brain health.

Small changes can make a big difference.

Join us at our upcoming Healthy Ages Wellness Workshop in Richland as a Dr. Snow with Viewpoint Dentistry helps us better understand the powerful connection between sleep, dental health, and whole-body wellness.

"My friend Gaylene and I stopped for a photo during our lengthy walk and “chat” at Columbia Center Mall Friday. We walked further than ever, not even noticing, because we were doing what we loved best. . . Talking!! 🤣 -Pam (left)

What started as a simple way to stay active has become friendship, encouragement, laughter, and a whole lot of heart.

We’re especially grateful for these two incredible regulars, Pam Anderson and Gaylene Lembcke, who show up with the kind of spirit that makes everyone feel welcome. Their dedication inspires others, their smiles brighten the morning, and their commitment to Mall Walkers is something we truly celebrate.

Programs like Healthy Ages are about more than steps counted, they’re about community built. And we are so thankful for each and every walker who makes our mornings meaningful.

Here’s to strong steps, steady friendships, and many more miles together. 💛👟
