  • Brown County Caregiver Coalition is looking for caregivers to help us in our vision and goals for the community.
  • Our Vision is to pave the path to successful caregiving across the lifespan.
  • Our Mission is to support and strengthen caregiving relationships through advocacy, education, collaboration, and community outreach.
  • Our group is currently made up of a variety of professionals and a few family caregivers. We are looking to expand our group and would like to add more family caregivers for insight on how we can support the caregivers in our community.
  • The group meets once a month and the meetings are hybrid, so you can join in-person or online from the comfort of your own home. If you'd like more information, please call Teri at (920) 448-4320.
