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.

Meet Jenny, a marathoner and mental health advocate dedicated to improving access to care for children and families. She is running the TCS New York City Marathon with team Northwell Health for a cause deeply personal to her.

As a child and young adult, Jenny’s drive for perfection, combined with a challenging relationship, led to anxiety and depression. With the support of family and friends, Jenny began therapy and learned the tools to manage her mental health. Now, she's running and raising funds for Northwell’s pediatric mental health initiatives – helping ensure that children and families in our communities get the care and support they need. 👟

It's National Estate Planning Awareness week! Estate planning is the process of determining what assets you have, how to best manage them during your life, and how you wish to distribute them after you pass. Having a personalized estate plan ensures your wishes are honored, such as:

👨‍👨‍👦‍👦 Choosing a guardian for your children.
🤝🏼 Naming someone you trust to manage your affairs.
⭐ Supporting persons and charities close to your heart, such as Northwell Health.

Without a plan, your state creates one for you, leaving your legacy up to chance. Consult with an attorney to assist you in crafting a solid estate plan that reflects your values and wishes.
