Griffin Hospital and The Valley Senior Services Council will host a free talk on summer safety for those caring for seniors.


DERBY - Griffin Hospital and The Valley Senior Services Council invite caregivers – especially those caring for seniors - to talks on summer safety and caregiver resources. 

The talks are part of a four-part series to help provide education, information, and support.

On May 17, representatives from Voices Against Lyme Disease and health experts from Griffin will present “Summer Safety - Lyme Disease and Skin Cancer,” with information on how to help prevent and treat these diseases.

The series wraps up June 7 with “Caring for the Caregiver,” which will provide tips on how caregivers can take care of themselves so they can better care for others.

Both presentations will start at 5:15 p.m. at Griffin Hospital, 130 Division St. 
There will be a free light meal provided by Valley United Way and Griffin Hospital Lifeline at 4:30 p.m. before each talk.

Registration is required for each event by calling 203-732-1511 or visiting griffinhealth.org/events.
