The caregiving crisis


Listen Later

(PBS / WJCT )

Caregiving is one of the fastest-growing health care needs in the United States, with over 53 million adults providing unpaid care to a loved one — many while managing full-time jobs and other domestic responsibilities. We talk about the demands and rewards of caregiving with experts, caregivers and you ahead of the The Caregiver Journey Workshop at WJCT Studios at 9 a.m. Saturday.

Guests:

  • Dr. Joe Sirven, Mayo Clinic neurologist and host of the WJCT program and podcast What’s Health Got To Do With It?
  • Susan Ponder-Stansel, president & CEO of Alivia Care Inc.
  • Linda Levin, CEO of ElderSource.
  • Alexandra Mackey, caregiver and nurse supervisor at Her Heart Assisted Living Facilities.

Then, the EMMA Concert Association launches its 47th season in the nation’s oldest city with an eclectic lineup of music and dance. From the intricate harmonies of a capella group Voctave, to the South Carolina Ballet’s take on Shakespeare, to a 1970s rock and roll tribute, the Lewis Auditorium stage in St. Augustine will feature a diverse array of performances starting in October.

Guest:

  • Renee Unsworth, EMMA Concert Association board member and founder of totallystaugustine.com
