Care Giving in Iowa with Di Findley

It is a topic which will touch each of us in time.  Di Findley is the executive director of the Iowa Caregivers Association which she founded some 22 years ago. The organization exists to serve Certified Nursing Assistants and other direct caregivers who are charged with helping individuals cope with many issues from health to injury.  Some suggest that the state of Iowa has the need for 20,000 additional caregivers.  How do we get there, what needs to be done to boost the image and training and professionalism of these people?  We asked those questions and more.  Here is that conversation. Insight on Business the News Hour with Michael Libbie is a production of Insight Advertising, Marketing & Communications a full service advertising agency based in Des Moines and is heard Monday - Friday from 5PM to 6PM on 1350-KRNT, Des Moines.  Connect with us on Twitter @IoB_NewsHour and, for more fun, here is our Facebook Page.
