How to Build Your Caregiving Team

Kim Hegwood | February 19, 2025

“I’m a physician and I know how to take care of things all by myself and yes, I had a hard time asking for help because I didn’t think I needed help. I thought I could do it all by myself because I’m a strong person, but I did learn eventually to accept help. Right?”
Today, Kim Hegwood and Dr. Renee Harmon will discuss why it is so important to have a caregiving team. Dr. Harmon will talk from her own experiences caring for her husband with early-onset dementia.

1. Why is it important to have a team?

2. Why is it hard to ask for help?
