VERO BEACH — Indian River Medical Center has formed a twice-monthly support group for the ‘family caregiver,’ who is often facing a host of new responsibilities; some unfamiliar or potentially intimidating.
The support group offers tips on getting needed assistance and caring for the caregiver’s needs while caring for others.
The group is facilitated by a licensed therapist who has many years of facilitating a variety of support groups for patients and their families/friends who are faced with health-related issues.
The group meets at IRMC’s Cancer Center Conference Room, 1000 36th St. in Vero Beach, on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month from 10 to 11 a.m.
The Cancer Center is located on the hospital campus; the first building on the right past the hospital’s main entrance.
