National Family Caregivers Month and the Sandwich Generation

November is National Family Caregivers Month, a time when the nation prepares to thank, support, educate, and celebrate its estimated 50 million caregivers.

Many of your customers are part of the "sandwich" generation -- baby boomers caring for aged parents AND teenagers. They have A LOT of stress. Make it your business to recognize them when they come into your pharmacy. They will use a lot of DMEPOS!
