My time spent speaking at the #WhiteHouse Care Convening was so inspiring. To be able to speak up for #Caregivers from all aspects of the care continuum was very meaningful and worthwhile.
I want to send a special thank you to @annaperngpa and her team for the invitation to speak on such an important topic. To Mayor @stevebenjaminsc for his unwavering support of seniors and those with disabilities and for those who care for them. And to @alan4florida for the hospitality.
