_ _ Helping people think through the experience of caregiving for loved ones
Oakton alum Steven Gan knows firsthand the experience of caring for a loved one. During the four years he spent caring for his mother toward the end of her life, Steven became interested with the science behind her medications and how they impacted her health and level of care. He embarked on an educational journey at Oakton, where he found a community of professors and advisors who encouraged him to explore a new career in the medical field.

Although Steven&) programs. Through my participation in the Alzheimer's Association, the National Caregiving Association, and the National Geriatric Society, my goal was to work as a PA in geriatric medicine.”

Finding a second career and a purpose by sharing caregiving insights with others
“It’s a lofty goal to pursue becoming a PA at the age of 66, but after careful consideration, my desire to help other potential caregivers has become my focus.

The Baby Boomer generation requires care despite a shortage of qualified caregivers, and so more and more family members are now being faced with taking on the direct caregiving role.

But not everyone can manage the challenges of being a loved one’s caregiver. In addition to the direct physical and mental challenges, there are a multitude of financial, legal, insurance, logistical, and human relational challenges that can be difficult to grapple with. In view of the totality of what is required to care for a loved one, I partnered with Dan Reid to create a course titled, Could You, Would You and Should You Be Your Loved One’s Caregiver? Our course is a road map that helps people understand to what extent they are able to be successful in the caregiving role. We are delighted to be teaching this course at 糖心动漫vlog.

It is my hope that as my life’s journey moves forward, I can continue to have a purposeful life by supporting those individuals who anticipate a caregiving situation for their loved one in the near future.”
