Millions of Americans — as many as 43.5 million, according to a recent national survey — are providing care for aging family or friends, and too many of those caregivers work in isolation with little recognition or support from others.

This month, we’ll highlight innovations in aging and caregiving, and how they’re shaping the future of healthcare. It'll be an inspirational and honest cafe-style evening where we let our guard down and explore the taboo subject of getting old and the burden of care.

We’ll cover a lot of ground, from statewide initiatives to the work of the local healthcare and social sectors -- all working together to ease the burden of caregiving.

Guest Speakers:

• Laurance Stuntz, Director, Massachusetts eHealth Institute at the MassTech Collaborative
• Danielle Duplin, Cofounder, AGENCY at Cambridge Innovation Center
• Deborah Nichols, RN-CM, LNC, Baystate Wing Hosp Readmission Reduction Team
• Lea Stein, RN, Facilitator, “El Grupo de Apoyo de Demencia” and per diem nurse in Geriatrics Dept, Baystate Health
