Comment "Caregiver" to celebrate this National Family Caregivers Month with Medical Stories. This November, we'd like to share our appreciation for family caregivers across the country.

Family caregivers can often be overlooked. This month, we're proud to honor the strength, love, and unwavering dedication of those who show up every single day to care for their loved ones.

In this spirit, we're sharing two beautiful stories of unwavering commitment.

Jim was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, and his wife and caregiver, J’Ann, has been by his side through every early symptom, every tough moment, and every small victory as they learn to navigate this new chapter together.

Meanwhile, Bessie, was also diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Her son, Phillip Jr., has been stepping into the caregiver role with determination, supported by a family who refuses to let her face this disease alone.

Let’s take a moment to recognize and appreciate the caregivers who give so much of themselves for the people they love.

Tag a hard working family caregiver who you know, love, and appreciate for all their hard work in the comments.
