Healthcare Equity Roundtable Fireside Chat: Addressing the Caregiving Crisis

Across South Florida, the work of caregiving falls hardest on Black families — and most of it happens without support, without recognition, and without a clear path to resources. Caregiver support in South Florida is not keeping pace with the need.

Dr. LaToya Lewis is convening the first conversation to change that.

Brain Health Is Wealth launches the Healthcare Equity Roundtable Series, a four-part community initiative bringing healthcare professionals, caregivers, community leaders, service providers, faith-based organizations, businesses, and residents to one table. This inaugural fireside chat opens the series with an honest look at what families are facing and what actually helps.

What we’ll cover:

• Healthcare equity — where the gaps are, and who they fall on
• Alzheimer’s awareness — recognizing the signs, understanding the trajectory
• Caregiver support and best practices — what works, from people doing it
• Community health priorities — setting the agenda together
• Resource navigation — what exists, and how to actually reach it
• Data collection — documenting community needs so they can be addressed

Who should attend
Family caregivers. Healthcare and social service professionals. Faith leaders. Community organizers. Business owners. Anyone who has cared for someone, or knows they will.

You do not need a background in healthcare to belong in this room.
