Joyce Cohen

Gail, I wish I could attend this celebration and be among the throng to THANK YOU for all your pioneering work over the decades to shape the face of caregiving today. I recall that first day we met in DC many decades ago and youโ€™ve spearheaded a movement that thrives because of your energy, intellect and dedication. I leave today for Israel returning mid March; however, Iโ€™ll certainly be thinking of you and wishing you well. I hope to see you in June and hear highlights of this wonderful event. Know that if it were possible Iโ€™d be there for sure. CONGRATULATIONS!

Most of what Iโ€™ve learned about caregiving, Iโ€™ve learned from Gail. And beyond that, I know her to be a great leader and most importantly, a truly compassionate person. Gail, may you be as busy as you want to be, and congratulations on your new role as Founder. All the best.
