From our rejuvenating annual Caregiver Expo to our conveniently located conferences, there’s something for every caregiver.

“Caring for the Caregiver” Conferences
These conferences feature informative sessions led by community caregiving experts, along with exhibitors, and door prizes. Most also feature complimentary adult care (respite) services for care receivers. The Coalition hosts conferences during the year across Northeast Florida.
