Sepsis is the topic at the Caregivers Support Group meeting on Monday, June 3.

The meeting starts at 11 a.m. at the Fountain Hills Community Center.

Generally speaking, sepsis is a life-threatening complication of an infection. It is dangerous because the infection is carried by the blood stream and can spread that infection to the body’s vital organs.

Caregivers will hear Elizabeth Gaunay, R.N. and clinical manager for Southland Home Care, who will provide the latest information about sepsis. Also on hand to help answer questions will be Chris Willis, MSW and clinical program manager for Southland Home Care.

For more information, contact Jim Judge at 480-209-8755, or Bill Whittaker at 480-837-7961.

Open to all caregivers regardless of age, affliction or disease, or place of residence, the Fountain Hills Caregivers Support Group offers a responsive environment where caregivers may discover they are neither unique in their situation nor alone in their feelings and experiences.

The group allows caregivers to exchange ideas and information, find solutions to similar problems, and suggest discussion topics for future meetings. It is also an opportunity for caregivers to develop informal networks and peer groups for extended support.
