As the population ages, families, friends and loved ones of the sick and elderly find themselves in changing roles. Caregivers struggle with the complexity of the medical system, financial issues and family tension. Yet many caregivers refer to their experience as powerful, positive and uplifting. To support caregivers, the PBS health series Second Opinion has created a national public education campaign on caregiving.
Second Opinion for Caregivers is funded through a generous grant from The Jacob and Valeria Langeloth Foundation.
