Support Groups Meet Virtually in October

Northbay Health support groups will meet virtually during October.

The Vacaville Northbay Alzheimer's Dementia Caregiver Support Group will meet by Zoom or telephone at 7 p.m. Oct. 13.

The group is co-facilitated by volunteers Bob Panzer, Donna Stewart, Sharen Podzimek and Patt Florez, and is exclusively for current and former caregivers of those with Alzheimer's or other dementias.

The meetings are held in confidence on the second Wednesday of each month.

Those joining for the first time are asked to RSVP by submitting their contact information by calling (707) 624-7971 or via email to the Northbay Alzheimer's Resource Center at resourcecenter@northbay.org. Instructions for joining by Zoom or phone will then be provided prior to the meeting.

Stroke survivors, caregivers, family members and friends are invited to share their accomplishments and struggles Oct. 19, during the virtual "New Beginnings" stroke support group meeting.

The group meets on the third Tuesday of each month from 10 to 11:30 a.m., providing the opportunity for members to get the support from people who understand what they've been through.

For more information, call Elizabeth Gladney at 707-646-4034, or email at egladney@Northbay.org.
