There are two very important caregiver events that CMS is hosting the week of September 15. On September 17, CMS will host a satellite broadcast entitled "Innovative Employer Caregiving Programs" that will provide employers, caregivers and human services professionals with information about successful programs for employed caregivers. The broadcast is from 1:00-2:00 pm ET. To register and find out more about the broadcast, go to: http://www.blsmeetings.net/caregivers/

On September 18, CMS will launch the Caregiver initiative with an e-launch at 12:00 pm ET. Following the live webcast, the webpage will go live on medicare.gov. To register for this event and sign up for the newsletter (and please encourage partners and caregivers to register as well), please go to www.medicare.gov/caregivers

Please help us to broaden the community of caring, and share information about both of these broadcasts with partners, members, and those who are caregivers.
