Put Your Best Fork Forward 
March is National Nutrition Month: a great time to focus on the nutritional needs of your whole family, especially if you're a caregiver for a loved one. This year's theme, "Put Your Best Fork Forward," reminds us that change often starts slow, but little healthy adjustments to a diet add up over time. If you are caring for a loved one, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics   toolkit   can help you succeed.
March  12th  through  18th  is also National Patient Safety Week. Visit the National Patient Safety Foundation website  for tips to minimize risks to your loved one.

Caring for a loved one at home can present unique challenges, but we're here to help!  We are proud to offer free classes to family caregivers of aging adults at our   in-house training lab .
A Little About Me
"I've always known that I wanted to be in a field where I can work to improve the community where I live and the lives of the people living in it. Cypress allows me to do this while working with fantastic people who really care about the mission. That's the best thing about the Cypress, the care."

As the Marketing Communications Assistant, Kathleen Shiman works to make sure that the clients and their families, caregivers and the community are all aware of what Cypress is doing and what they have to offer. She has a passion for working to better the lives of people who are either marginalized in some way or who can't advocate for themselves. Kathleen's education in Public Communication and Applied Design prepared her to both work with people and create effective communications for use within the community. She loves working at Cypress because her position allows her to use creativity while improving the lives of the people in her community. When she's not working, Kathleen loves spending time outside, listening to music, bowling and traveling.
