A Veteran Caregiver Dessert and Coffee event will be held Friday at the Knoxville VA Community Based Outpatient Clinic.

November is National Family Caregivers Month and the clinic wants to give thanks to the caregivers working with Knoxville veterans. Social Worker Jessica Van Vark with the CBOC tells KNIA/KRLS News a VA Caregiver is anyone who provide care for a veteran, whether it be direct support with the assistance of daily living or indirect support with something a veteran might need help with. The event will be held from 10 a.m. until noon and is presented by the VA Caregiver Support Program. To hear the complete interview with Van Vark tune in for today’s Let’s Talk Knoxville.
