History of the Santa Barbara County Community Caregiving Initiative

Partners of the Santa Barbara County Community Caregiving Initiative share the history that started with the Santa Barbara Foundation Senior Community Investments Director, Phylene Wiggins, who asked, “What about our caregivers?” over a decade ago, that has grown into a county-wide information sharing initiative that has helped many caregivers.
