2026 Aging & Caregiver Conference
Advertisement
Join Kay County Senior Connections, United Way of North Central Oklahoma, Community Health Foundation of Kay County, and the Clark Foundation for a special conference focused on providing care and support for aging Oklahomans.
The short answer is: most of us will be a caregiver at some point in our lives. Becoming a caregiver is one of the greatest acts of love and selflessness. While caregiving can be deeply rewarding, it also comes with challenges and the need for support, education, and resources.
