Bob’s book is entitled The Good Caregiver which is written with Jeannine Ouelette, but, if you know him, is the real Bob Kane coming out in ways that might surprise you. The book is published by Avery, a division of Penguin Books. It’s sub-title is no exaggeration of its content: “A one-of-a-Kind Compassionate Resource for Anyone Caring for an Aged Love one.” It begins where we all do, with “Becoming a Caregiver” and works with you through every conceivable event along your path. With the kinds of questions you need to ask, of whom, and when. Having been on this journey myself, I was totally amazed at the tables, the lists of problems/observations, the home safety check-list. I guarantee you’ve never had a resource you’ll use and enjoy as much as The Good Caregiver.

Senator Durenberger will be speaking at the 70th anniversary of NORC before 150 directors, officers and professional staff at the reconstructed Chicago Board of Trade offices. NORC applies academic excellence, innovative and rigorous methods, and a collegial philosophy to the most pressing and complex global issues in fields such as health, education, economics, crime, justice, energy, security, and the environment.
Senator Durenberger will define the future of health care and the research and analysis challenges we face. He will talk about the “New Economy” and how the policy-making process will react to it and what information requirements are essential to gird policy leadership to undertake the challenges of change.
The University of St. Thomas has built a reputation for its involvement in and contributions to the health care community. Through a range of degree programs, executive education and professional development offerings, events, centers and institutes, faculty, staff and students are exposed to important issues and best practices influencing health care in the U.S. In addition, research and analysis provided by organizations such as the National Institute of Health Policy contribute to an ongoing, constructive dialogue on health care policy and practice today.
These resources include links to government agencies, advocacy groups, professional trade associations, policy centers at leading universities and individual health policy professionals throughout the U.S.
