One in four caregivers rate their health fair to poor.

So Inspira Health‘s Dr. Ankur Patel – who experiences the challenges of the sandwich generation firsthand as a parent caring for his parents – is helping to support others with research and treatment tips, like being sure to ask for help and looking for signs of burnout.

Dr. Patel is President of Inspira Living Independently for Elders, completed his Family Medicine Physician Fellowship in Geriatrics and is Author of “Age Is Just a Number.”
