SUMMARY:Caregiver Cafe
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nJoin Partners In Care on the second Tuesday of each month from 11 am – 12 pm for a Caregiver Café! \nCaring for someone who has a serious illness or disability can be a rewarding experience\, but it may also feel overwhelming.

Caregiver Cafe will be held in the Wyatt Room at Partners In Care. Parking is available at 2611 NE Courtney Drive in Bend. \nRSVPs are encouraged; RSVP to facilitator Molly at molly.denton@partnersbend.org or (541) 382-5882. \nCheck www.partnersbend.org for more details and updates. \n \n
