Free Home for the Holidays Web Conference Will Help Local Family Caregivers Tune Into Trouble
The holidays are a good time for family caregivers returning home to their loved ones to tune into the signs that an older family member or friend may need extra help to remain safe at home.
To learn more about those signs, register for the free Home for the Holidays web conference, moderated by a representative from the Home Instead Senior Care® network, hosted by the American Society on Aging (ASA), and co-sponsored by the National Family Caregivers Association (NFCA) and the National Alliance for Caregiving (NAC).
The hour-long web conference will be available in the U.S. and Canada, and offered on two dates and times: Tuesday, Nov. 15, at 1 p.m. Eastern Time, or Monday, Dec. 5, at 8 p.m. Eastern Time. To register, go to www.caregiverstress.com/familyeducation.
“It’s easy for busy family caregivers to overlook the subtle signs that a senior loved one needs assistance,” said Lucy Novelly, owner of one of the Home Instead Senior Care offices serving the Greater Pittsburgh area. “But during the holidays, when many return to their childhood homes, the difference between your last visit and now can highlight those red flags.”

Free Webinar on Evaluating Your Anesthesia Program
The Anesthesia Department is universally recognized as an essential partner in the smooth operation of every hospital OR. An under-performing anesthesia program can have negative effects on OR efficiency, profitability and patient satisfaction. The decision to change anesthesia providers is a significant one, requiring careful consideration. A clear understanding of the process, as well how to identify a high-performing anesthesia organization, is essential to making a successful change.
Somnia Anesthesia invites you to attend a free Webinar on June 14 at 2:15pm EST to learn how to evaluate your anesthesia program and what to expect when transitioning to a new provider in your hospital. Sponsored by Somnia Anesthesia, this Webinar will provide concrete examples of how a change in anesthesia provider can result in a higher-performing OR, lower subsidy and improved hospital-physician relationships.
Speakers: Robert Goldstein, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Somnia Anesthesia; Thomas Schares, MD, Chief of Anesthesia, Desert Regional Medical Center; and Robert Cunnah, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Desert Regional Medical Center
