National Hispanic Council on Aging (NHCOA) - Caregiving in Times of COVID-19

Due to the ongoing pandemic of COVID-19, the National Hispanic Council on Aging (NHCOA) is
developing innovative ways to continue engaging, informing and listening to communities. 

For 51 years, NHCOA has worked to improve the lives of Hispanic older adults, their families, and caregivers. One way in which NHCOA is addressing this current public health crisis is through a series of webinars focused on topics that are extremely important in light of COVID-19. Using a virtual format allows us to continue to serve our mission while protecting communities and following the CDC and WHO’s guidelines on physical distancing. Our first COVID-19 webinar will focus on caregiving in light of a public health emergency. This webinar will provide an open space for communities to engage in education and ask questions of leaders in the field. I am contacting you to respectfully request your participation in this event. 

NHCOA’s Caregiving in Times of COVID-19 webinar will be held in English. 
Please see the information below on how to register: 
Date: May 19, 2020 Time: 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM (EST) 
Platform: GoToWebinar 

This Webinar will bring together older adults, community leaders, and caregivers with organizational leaders, providers, and stakeholders to ensure their questions and concerns around caregiving are answered in an attentive, receptive and culturally sensitive environment. 



Established in 1969, NHCOA is the largest constituency-based organization representing Hispanic older adults. NHCOA represents a network of 42 community-based groups across the continental U.S., the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. NHCOA maintains a broader network of 7,000 individuals and reaches 10 million Hispanics each year through its work and that of its affiliates. I am looking forward to your participation in this event. Together, we can ensure that all older adults age with dignity, security and in the best possible health.
