             With #HurricaneHelene coming, highlighting this post from @RCICaregiving for #caregivers to prepare for disasters. 
           Preparing a disaster kit can feel overwhelming for caregivers, but you can help! Consider bringing over essential items to support a caregiver’s kit. Find our month-by-month guide here:  https://t.co/woqdsTqZkd

             Justin Yu's plenary on children with medical complexity reminds us how rapidly this population is growing and how high their care needs are at home. #caregivers of these children need support. #BBPgh24 @PittPalCare

             After a grounding moment with @DocApplebaum's, @chvanhoutven pushes us again: We should all estimate value of caregiver time and caregiver interventions in #research. Some ways include: caregiving hours, proxy costs, opportunity costs. #BBPgh24

             Primary care providers should know if their patient's are #caregivers.

             Young caregivers are on the rise, juggling education, early careers, and care responsibilities. We need flexible policies to support them. Investing in these dedicated individuals ensures a strong care workforce for tomorrow #TogetherInCare
