Caregiver Resource and
Education Committee (CREC)
CREC is a task force or subcommittee of the CVFCA. The primary focus of this group is to provide education and make caregiver resources readily available to employers and healthcare professionals. Brief meetings and/or presentations are provided to healthcare professionals and human resource managers in order to build their awareness of critical issues affecting caregivers, thereby gaining their support to take the time to identify patients and employees who are caregivers and make resources readily available to them.
CREC has developed and assembled resource packets:
