As part of our 75th Anniversary, Central Coast VNA & Hospice invites you to a meaningful community event designed to support and connect our community of caregivers.

This is one of three special events VNA is hosting as part of this milestone celebration. A special, free event for anyone who has been, is currently, or will one day be a caregiver. Enjoy complimentary food and beverages, enter to win raffle prizes, and explore information resource tables featuring local organizations and services dedicated to supporting caregivers.

A Conversation That Matters

Panelists:

Chris Punsalan, Content Creator and Former Caregiver

Trevor Jones, VNA’s own Bereavement/Spiritual Care Supervisor

Laurie Wheeler, End-of-Life Doula

Katya Kuska, VNA Medical Social Worker

• Affordable community resources and support
• Key takeaways to combat burnout in caregivers
• What caregivers wish the healthcare system understood
• A deeper understanding of caregiver burnout, grief, and compassion fatigue
• A renewed sense of community, connection, and recognition
• Spiritual and emotional care at the end of life
• Grief before and after loss
• Hidden work and emotional realities of caregiving
