She has brings 33 years' experience in geriatrics and has received local, statewide, and national recognition for her expertise in dementia care, education and training.

Cox Center's other mission, offering supportive and educational programs to family and professional caregivers in the community.
We thank our presenter, Teepa Snow, our sponsors, exhibitors and all those who have worked so hard to put this program together. It is our hope that caregivers leave this workshop with tips that will ease their caregiving day, with a sense of humor about their tasks and knowledge that they are not alone in the caregiver's role. |
