Caring for the Caregivers – with Degree of Honor Protective Association

That means there are millions of people who are active caregivers either for a family member, loved one, friend, spouse or a child with special needs.

Join Lisa Flanary, CEO of Degree of Honor who will talk about the company’s 130 year history, mission and explain their philosophy of “Insurance with a heart”, sharing some of the burden that comes with being a caretaker.  Also viewers will hear from caregivers and their moving stories.
