The Savvy Caregiver Online Experts

The Savvy Caregiver™ Online is based on the copyrighted Savvy Caregiver curriculum and was developed in conjunction with the University of Minnesota and experts from Duke University, Emory University, Metropolitan State University, and Michigan State University. It was funded in part by a grant from the National Institute on Nursing Research.

HealthCare Interactive would like to thank the many families and dementia experts for helping to educate other caregivers by agreeing to participate and be videotaped in this program. We respect the sensitive nature of this material and appreciate the support of everyone involved.
