November is National Family Caregivers Month! Caring for a loved one is one of life's toughest challenges. That was the case for Gerry Benjamin and his siblings when their mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s several years ago. The experience made him realize how heartbreaking and exhausting it must be for caregivers who have little or no support.

To help other families in need, Gerry and his family made a generous gift to help design a benchmark program that will unify training and tools for caregiver coaches throughout all of Northwell Health's Caregiver Centers. 💙

Inspired by his family's experience caring for their mother, Gerry Benjamin donated to Northwell Health to create a unified training program for caregiver coaches and a digital resource hub for family caregivers in the US.
