The Anguilla Red Cross invites you to an evening of meaningful discussion on the topic “Positive Aspects of Caregiving for Older Adults: The Art of Compassionate Care at End of Life.”

We are honoured to welcome Dr. Cyndi Hovland as our guest speaker for this month’s Garden Conversations.

Dr. Hovland, Professor of Social Work and Master of Social Work Program Director at Cleveland State University, has over 25 years of interprofessional clinical practice and management working with older adults, family caregivers, hospice, end-of-life, palliative, and bereavement care. Additionally, she served as a family caregiver for her mother who died with dementia.

Her recently published work is focused on family caregiving of older adults, interprofessional education in healthcare, Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, death and dying, and grief and loss.

Dr. Hovland serves as the principal investigator on federal grants including the Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Program and has presented much of her scholarly work across key national and international conferences and has published over 25 journal articles and book chapters in some of the top research journals.

The Anguilla Red Cross extends sincere thanks to volunteer Cyndi Hovland and Claire Wever, BRC Resource Officer for the Overseas Branches, for their support of one of our ongoing community initiatives.

This past Sunday, Cyndi and Claire joined Anguilla Red Cross in assisting the AXA Cares Food Delivery Programme in delivering meals to residents of the Senior Citizens Home. During the visit, they also distributed care packages prepared by a young supporter of the Anguilla Red Cross.

Their participation reflects the true spirit of the Red Cross Movement - people helping people and working together to strengthen communities through compassion and service.

The Anguilla Red Cross is grateful to Cyndi and Claire for their support. We also thank AXA Cares Food Delivery Programme for allowing Anguilla Red Cross to contribute to this meaningful initiative, as well as to our young supporter whose thoughtful donation helped make the visit even more meaningful for the residents.

Together, we continue to make humanity our mission.

A few weeks ago, during a Programme Leads meeting, the Anguilla Red Cross had the pleasure of a surprise visit from Paola, Director of the Italian Red Cross, who was on island visiting her niece.

Although the meeting was brief, it was a valuable opportunity to discuss the common challenges and humanitarian priorities facing Red Cross societies around the world. Moments such as these highlight the importance of global collaboration and the shared commitment to serving vulnerable communities.
