National Family Caregivers month is observed each November to honor and recognize family caregivers across the country who support aging parents, children, spouses, and other loved ones with disabilities or chronic illnesses. While family caregiving can be a privilege and a rewarding opportunity, caregiving can be a tough job, sometimes thankless and costly. These responsibilities often leave caregivers overlooking their health and well-being.
This November, make sure to thank the family caregivers in your life for all they do to help their loved ones and encourage them to take time for their own health as well. During the month of November, Arroyo Vista Family Health Center is offering free diabetes and nutrition classes, free health screenings, and $50 complete physical exams. For more information, call (323) 987-2007 or visit www.arroyovista.org.
