Dr. Linda Rhodes, Former PA Secretary of Aging

Dr. Rhodes is credited for initiating Pennsylvania’s Family Caregiver Support Program enabling thousands of older people to remain in their homes while assisting family caregivers to help them do so.  Dr. Rhodes’ dynamic presentation offers expert advice, resources and practical tips for caregivers on how to navigate health and elder care, manage the emotional terrain of caregiving and handle the basic legal and money matters.   Copies of her award winning book, “The Essential Guide to Caring for Aging Parents,” will be available for purchase at a discounted rate for attendees.

All adults will face suffering, grief and loss in their own lives and in the lives of the people they love.  Dr. Vogel will speak about how we can have hope, faith and reason at the end of life.
Dr. Vogel will describe how to support and sustain patients and their families through troubling emotion, grief and loss and identify skills to help all of us die with grace and hope.  He will show caregivers how to remain honest and engaged and how to offer support that celebrates the life of the person who is dying.
