ROCHESTER - Cornerstone VNA recently announced its 6th Annual Caregivers Connect, a special event that focuses on providing support to family caregivers. This free virtual event will take place on May 4, from 10-11:30 a.m.

Attendees will hear from Kay Frances, a funny motivational speaker. At her energetic, upbeat presentation, family caregivers will be reminded to keep their sense of humor, manage their stress, and take care of themselves. The first 50 registrants will receive a copy of Kay's book, The Funny Thing About Stress after their attendance is confirmed on the day of the event.

"We are incredibly happy to present our annual Caregivers Connect event, which will be virtual again this year to appeal to a wider audience. Our theme of 'laughter is the best medicine' will most surely resonate with our local family caregivers," said Julie Reynolds, RN, MS, President/CEO, of Cornerstone VNA.

Janice Howard, Life Care - Private Duty Director at Cornerstone VNA noted the event "will assist our caregivers to experience a sense of camaraderie. It can be very comforting to know you are not alone in your journey as the caregiver of a loved one."
