Honor Your Caregiver
Have you or a loved one had an exceptionally compassionate caregiver? Would you like to let that person know how much you value this quality? Again this year at the annual dinner guests had the opportunity to recognize an empathetic caregiver and help the Schwartz Center at the same time by make a donation in honor of this individual. At last year's dinner more than 300 caregivers were honored. Click here to view complete list.

Caregivers tell us they are nourished and re-energized when they know they are valued. If you missed this opportunity at the annual dinner, you can still acknowledge a caregiver by contacting the Schwartz Center at (617) 724-4746.
