EOVAHCS Caregiver Support Program Honored
Caregivers enrolled in the VA Caregiver Support Program recognized for their dedication in caring for Veterans.
On September 25, 2024 the Eastern Oklahoma VA Caregiver Support Program was honored to organize a Caregiver Appreciation Lunch. The Caregiver Appreciation Lunch was held at The Loft in Broken Arrow. This event was held to recognize the Caregivers enrolled in the VA Caregiver Support Program for their dedication in caring for their Veterans.
Caregivers dined on steak, green beans, salad, rolls, and ended with cheesecake drizzled in their choice of chocolate, caramel, or strawberry. During the meal the Caregivers shared stories, laughs, and struggles with their Caregiver journey. As the VA Caregiver staff had envisioned with this event peer relationships were formed, self-care prioritized, and the hope that feelings of isolation had deceased.
As the event was winding down, Caregivers could be heard saying “It was nice to not have to cook for once” “It was so good to not have to clean up”, “It was nice to step away for a while”, and “The food was amazing.”
The Eastern Oklahoma VA Caregiver Support Program is grateful to all the Caregivers in the program that are caring for their Veterans. We were happy to organize the event for our Caregivers. The staff is also very appreciative for the funds that were donated to this event.
