The New England Family Caregiving Town Hall Meeting celebrates the contributions of family members who care for disabled children, middle aged adults, and older relatives and provides a forum for action to improve the quality of life of family caregivers. "Prepare to Care: From Information to Action!" is the theme for the event which is spearheaded by the National Family Caregivers Association (NFCA) and a coalition of 40 local organizations. The town hall meeting features a panel of public and private sector leaders who will listen and respond to the concerns of family caregivers. Senior health editor Madge Kaplan of the WGBH Health Desk moderates the New England Family Caregiving Town Hall Meeting. This event is offered with the television broadcast of "And Thou Shalt Honor: Caring for Our Aging Parents" on WGBH Channel 2, which examines the larger role that caregiving plays in the lives of all Americans, regardless of income, ethnic background, or geographic location.
