Supporting patients also means supporting the families who are often the caregivers. Caregiver education, resource connections, and emotional support are all part of our discharge planning to ensure the patient’s loved ones feel confident and equipped every step of the way.
Martha’s story is a powerful reminder of the impact caregivers make every day. After her husband suffered a traumatic brain injury, her plans for an advanced degree and writing career changed overnight. She stepped into a full-time caregiver role, learning to navigate doctor’s appointments, therapy sessions, and life’s unexpected challenges. Out of her experience, Martha founded Caregiver Coffees, local support groups that now meet across Louisiana, offering guidance, encouragement, and a warm cup of coffee.
We’re honored that Caregiver Coffees in Shreveport partners with one of our sister hospitals, Shreveport Rehabilitation Hospital, to provide resources and communities for caregivers.
