2018 Caregiver Conference
We were honored to have Miss Tennessee, Christine Williamson, open the 2018 Caregiver Conference in Germatown on June 27. Christine shared her connection with Alzheimer's disease and why she advocates on behalf of those who are not able to advocate for themselves. A record number of caregivers were in attendance and received resources and information from speakers such as Mac Bailey of the Bailey Law Firm, Equestrian Therapy from Margaret Morton of Trezevant Episcopal Home, Beth Marczynski, Geriatric Services Liason of Lakeside Behavioral Health, and from Susan Crowson, Dementia Specialist.
