A New Resource for Caregivers and a Commitment to the Community

Nearly 1 in 4 U.S. adults is a family caregiver, representing an estimated 63 million Americans. Behind each caregiver is often an even larger circle of family members, friends, neighbors and colleagues who care about them.

For those providing care to someone they love, the responsibility can be rewarding, but it can also be exhausting. Many caregivers find themselves trying to balance the needs of another person with their own health, hopes and dreams.

Local author Jack Norris, MD, draws on his own family’s 10-year journey with dementia in his new book, How to Be a Loving Caregiver and Still Follow Your Dreams. The book offers practical ideas, encouragement and perspective for those trying to navigate the responsibilities of caregiving while continuing to live their own lives. At its heart is a simple message: you are not alone, and there is a way through.

The book also reflects Dr. Norris’s commitment to the broader caregiving community. All author proceeds from the book are dedicated to organizations that strengthen caregivers, families and children in the community, both during his lifetime and after his passing.

Whether you are a caregiver yourself, know someone who is, or simply want to better understand the experience, How to Be a Loving Caregiver and Still Follow Your Dreams offers an opportunity to learn from one caregiver’s journey and share that encouragement with others.

The book is available now in paperback and eBook formats on Amazon.
