Share the Care
The UW Comprehensive Cancer Center offers a unique program for individuals
who are seriously ill and need caregiver support. Based on the book Share
the Care: How to Organize a Group to Care for Someone Who is Seriously Ill
by Capossela and Warnock, the Share the Care Model provides a road map on
how to create a caregiver team (comprised of friends, relatives, neighbors,
co-workers, etc.) to provide individuals and families with help to maintain
some of the activities of daily living such as house cleaning, grocery shopping,
cooking, or transportation. Share the Care insures that the person who is

alone. For information, call Cancer Connect at (608) 262-5223 or 1-800-622-8922.
