2020 URWell Employee Caregiver Series
"There are only four kinds of people in the world: those who are currently caregivers, those who have been caregivers, those who will be caregivers and those who will need caregivers."
― Rosalyn Carter
URWell is committed to providing a wellness program that reflects the needs and interests of our community. This year, we have launched a series of programming focusing on the caregiving needs of University employees and managers.
Over 40 million Americans provide uncompensated care for family members. Based on this overwhelming national number, we know caregiving is a reality many members of our own community are facing as well. Our colleagues are balancing an array of caregiving demands including eldercare, resources for children with special needs, a family member with a mental health or addiction challenge, chronic conditions, and more.
